Most of the furnishings in the church date from the construction period around 1780/90. This includes the classical high altar with a three-axis, pilaster-structured structure with a central round arch, side sacrificial portals and altar figures of saints Sebastian , Ignatius , Aloysius and Florian in white . In the central niche there is a picture of Mariahilf carried by putti from the Mariahilf chapel, which stood on the green until 1784. The pulpit dates from the end of the 18th century. The organ from 1864 is in a case from the time the church was built (around 1790). In the choir there is a group of figures of the Holy Trinity from the end of the 18th century. Further furnishings include a lecture cross from the end of the 18th century and a stone relief of the Virgin Mary, which was probably made at the end of the 17th century.
