The church’s altar was made in the workshops of Valentin Lendenstreich in 1505 and is extremely valuable in terms of its artistry. It is located in the chancel, which was renewed in Late Gothic style in 1907. The altar to Mary was probably bought by the church’s patron, Simon von Ungnaden, in 1556 and bequeathed to the church.
