The choir vault is decorated with a fifteenth-century floral design featuring tendrils and the symbols of the four evangelists. A notable feature is that the paintings are signed by ‘Brother Jan van Aken’ and ‘Johannes’. The baptismal font also dates from the fifteenth century, whilst the seventeenth-century pulpit comes from the church in Scharmer, which was demolished in 1824.
