The single-nave nave is closed off by a bell gable characteristic of the churches in the region . The main altar of the church dates from the 18th century and is dedicated to John the Baptist, whose statue dominates the work. The altar is a rectangular, hollow, over two meters wide sarcophagus altar made of walnut wood, which is made from one piece. It is decorated with gold-plated relief ornaments and rocailles . Cherubins are put on and semicircular sideboards are attached to both sides of the altar.
