At first glance, the church's Baroque interior appears rather somber, especially when compared to the bright, cheerful atmosphere of, for example, Bavarian Baroque churches. However, the richly detailed stained-glass windows are truly magnificent and colorful. The altarpiece depicting the Assumption of Mary is a copy of the painting by the Italian artist Reni; the original is housed in the Pinakothek in Munich.
