The three-axis west gallery with a keel arch is arched under star ribs. The south and west portal are keel-arched in a late Gothic style. The south portal received a barrel-vaulted vestibule in 1665. The porch shows the fresco Michael by Egidi Prinner (1736). The baptistery was stuccoed in the 3rd quarter of the 18th century.
