Interior furnishings

Inside stand three altars. The main one is a wooden, Renaissance altar from the early 17th century. The pulpit dates from 1620 and has carved decoration. A collator's box from the 17th-18th century has also survived, decorated with plant motifs, as well as stone gravestones from 1600 and the early 18th century.
