Inside the tower you will find an altar with Mary with Christ in her arms. There are also 2 pastors interred inside.
There is also a WWII memorial at the cemetery.
It is freely accessible from sunrise to sunset.

"The tower is a monument of the former mother church (12th century), whose choir house built in 1501 and newly built nave in 1726 was demolished in 1899. The original opening choir room was transformed into a chapel in 1899."
