During the renovation in 1886, the tracery windows with fish bubbles were replaced by simple early Gothic tracery windows . On the north and east side of the choir are burial chambers of the local nobility: among others von Münchhausen from the 17th century and von Mengersen dated 1711. The baptismal font from 1590 comes from Mante Pelkinck, the lid is hung on the vault . In the choir hangs a picture of Jesus' Last Supper from 1590.
