Looking south-west, the observation tower at Burgstall Kirchberg can be seen, behind it the hills near Haibach ob der Donau; to the southeast, you can see Kleinzell and St. Martin.

The high altar, built by the sculptor Franz Oberhuber (1859), was added to in 1880/1890 and renovated in 1904. The center picture shows Sixtus II, painted by Leopold Schulz (1858). The remarkable pulpit from 1719 on the triumphal arch has a polygonal basket with twisted columns and figures of the evangelists in front of shell niches, on the soundboard with a lantern-like attachment with an acanthus bow crown with the figure of St. Paul. The organ came from Ignaz Egedacher and was demolished in 1927. In 1991, the Upper Austrian organ building institute created a new instrument with a sound concept based on baroque Central German models and unequal tuning. It has 22 registers on two manuals.
