Deckenbilder von J. M. Wild, Kemnath, und G. Schreyer, Erlangen, zu 37 biblischen Szenen, in der Mitte über dem Taufstein die Taufe Jesu und über dem Altar die Einsetzung des Abendmahls.
By E. Räntz (1713); made of marble from the Franconian forest. Six pillars frame the main body of the pulpit like a gateway. The altarpiece contains the four Evangelists, with God the Father and the Son as rulers of the world in the centre, surrounded by angels, clouds and a halo of rays of light.
The Passion of Christ, attributed to J. von Spillenberger (1711), and further biblical pictures by the court painter M. S. Gläser (um 1730/40) and others.
Belong to 72 members of the 'ordre de la sincerité' (Order of Sincerity), founded by Margrave Christian Ernst. The church served originally as the knights' chapel of the Order. The galleries and balustrades running round the church are made of aspen wood.
By E. Räntz (1714); features angel musicians, and is crowned with a golden triangle in a halo of rays of light.
By the court stucco artist Bernardo Quadri, with rich decoration and fruits of paradise, used in particular to frame the many paintings.
