Altars
In 1797, Clemens Wilhelm created the high altar in a classical style. The altarpiece from 1665 comes from the previous high altar. It was created in Augsburg and shows St. Martin as a bishop in glory and the mantle division. The altarpiece is surrounded by four columns. The wooden figures of the princes of the apostles as well as the Mother of God in the excerpt from the high altar were taken over from the previous high altar. The neo-classical tabernacle was created around 1900.
The side altars are by Dominikus Bergmüller . Both side altars are decorated with rocailles. The left side altar was built in 1754. The altarpiece shows the donation of the rosary to St. Dominic and St. Catherine of Siena . It dates from 1755 by Franz Seraph Kirzinger .
