The Stefanuskerk is one of the few churches where the late-Gothic rood screen dating from 1560 has remained intact. Another notable feature is a 12th-century sarcophagus lid depicting two figures. The church, which originally dates from the 11th century, has been altered several times over the years, both externally and internally. With the exception of the chancel, all the vaults in the nave have been replaced by a wooden ceiling. The existing vault and wall paintings were painted over after the Reformation. Only a few fragments, such as those depicting the Virgin Mary, Saint Stephen and Saint Sebastian, are still visible. The ridge turret replaces a 70-metre-high tower, thought to date from the 14th century, which was demolished in 1854.
