The ceiling is three-bay with narrow square vaults. There is a semi-dome over the semicircular apse.
The wall painting on the triumphal arch shows the " Battle of Mogersdorf " on August 1, 1664 against the Ottomans . It was painted by Josef Rösch in 1912. It shows a castle-like building on the Schlößlberg. The rider on the white horse is said to be General Sporck. Mary stands in heaven with the child. A cross shines as a symbol of the Christian victory over the Ottomans.
The neo-Romanesque main altar and side altar were created around 1900.
The pulpit was built in the second half of the 18th century. It is adorned with gold-plated rococo decor on the basket and sound cover .
