Piece
The stucco in the church was probably created in 1709 by the plasterer Matthias Stiller, who was a member of the Wessobrunn school . In the middle of the vault there is a longitudinally oval profile frame. From this, pendulum-like acanthus cartouches with bunches of fruit at the end radiate into the gusset. There are leaf sticks on the shield arches. There are flat profile frames with leaf rods around the windows. Volutes with drooping bunches of fruit are located next to the fighters. The pilaster capitals were designed Corinthian. There are leaf rods on the entablature. A stucco ring was attached to the underside of the lower gallery. On the parapet of the gallery you can see three fields with leaf sticks.
The stucco elements created around 1777 belong to the Rococo. These include the gallery parapets, each with three rectangular, profile-framed painting fields, with those of the lower gallery lying within the older fields. Above and below there are leaf ornaments in the middle of the frame. A cartridge is attached to the lower parapet in the lower center. A rocaille cartouche with a Marian monogram can be seen in the arch of the sacristy door .

altar
The altar of the chapel was created in 1711 by Stephan Witsch from Tussenhausen. Johann Bergmüller from nearby Türkheim advised him and took hold of the altar. The wood is marbled blue and red. The acanthus decor is gold-plated. The stipes can be assigned to the Rococo. It is slightly concave with bevelled corners set with volutes. The classicist tabernacle from around 1800 is flanked by volutes with putti. The arched niche above is hung with a lambrequin . To the side of the tail cornice of the arched niche there are putti. The tabernacle is crowned by a small crucifix on a rosette. In the niche is the miraculous image of the pilgrimage church. It shows a Pietà painted on mounted wood and was created in the middle of the 17th century.
The altar structure is six-pillar with cranked entablature pieces set in front of a triangle and a bulged frieze. The cornice swings flatly over the altarpiece. The picture shows a descent from the cross from the late 17th century in a carved frame with rocailles. Under the altarpiece there are small shell niches with angel statuettes on both sides of the niche. Two of the same niches with angels are located below in the predella on the sides of the tabernacle. The three-axis altar extension is wide. The outline is achieved through sinuous columns. In the middle there is a shell niche with a laurel frame. There is a carved Heart of Jesus in the ray glory. In the lateral axes there are small shell niches with angels. The one on the right is holding a handkerchief. On the outside, in front of volutes with acanthus decoration, are the figures of the plague saints Sebastian and Rochus. The final segment gable is decorated with a half-figure of God the Father, above a dove and acanthus.
characters
The wooden figures of the church are all taken. On the pilasters and walls, six figures from the second quarter of the 18th century are placed on volute consoles with carved decorations. They show a young saint with a sword and a saint with a sword, who can be seen to the right and left of the altar. According to F. Zoepf, it should be about the saints Cosmas and Damian.
