The high altar and the two side altars come from the Tannheim plasterer Silvester Wöber. The side chapels were created by Johann Striegl from Pflach and Josef Anton Buck from Weißenbach .

The frescoes of the “Last Supper” in the choir, “Annunciation of Mary” on the triumphal arch and the “Last Judgment” in the nave were designed by Joseph Keller (1804).
In 1895 Johann Kärle painted the frescoes in the round stitch caps (Confirmation and anointing of the sick, baptism and penance, marriage and ordination), in the apses (God the Father), above the skylight windows (Augustine and Hieronymus, “Josef's brothers report to Jakob the alleged death of Joseph ”, Johannes and Luke, Matthew and Mark,“ Joseph is sold ”, Ambrose and Gregory), above the organ gallery (King David, angel concert, Cecilia) and in the vaults of the side chapels (Holy Family, baptism of Christ). Kärle also designed the decorative painting as imitation stucco as well as the wall painting on the upper gallery parapet ( putti making music ) and on the lower gallery parapet (twelve apostles with the virtues "love, hope and faith").
The stained glass in the nave dates from 1881 (Franz Xaver and Nikolaus, Johannes and Rudolf, Petrus and Paulus), in the choir from 1892 (Good Shepherd, Maria with Child, Johannes) and Engelbert from the 20th century.
