The Gothic tabernacle to the left of the altar dates from the 15th century. In the former sacristy from 1497 is u. a. the Königsfelder Madonna from the first half of the 13th century is on display.

In 1912 the new main nave was built in the neo-Gothic style under the direction of the Trier architect Peter Marx .
