On the west side is the relief with the portrait and the coat of arms and on the south side the epitaph of Christian von Münchhausen, who was murdered in 1643. The interior was gradually vaulted, the choir separated from the nave by a round triumphal arch at the end of the 14th century, the two yokes of the nave only at the end of the 15th century.
