The tabernacle was erected in the middle of the 18th century. The simple side altars date from the middle of the 17th century and were partially changed afterwards. The pulpit and a hanging chandelier with a statue of the Mother of God are designed in the neo-Gothic style and originally come from the subsidiary church of St. Leonhard in the Eben .
