Figure of the Crucified Christ in the style of the 'Man of Sorrows' from 1654/55, thought to have used a wooden sculpture of 1480.

Schnürer (1726); predella: Last Supper, next to it wooden reliefs of the Nativity and Baptism of Jesus; on the pulpit body: a crucifixion group with life-size figures of the Evangelists St Matthew and St Mark on either side; seated figures of St Luke and St John on the entablature; in the centre the Resurrected Christ; high above as if on a dish: a golden triangle surrounded by clouds and a halo of rays of light; everything richly adorned with gold decoration.
Made c 1730, richly gilded, with angels' heads on the ends of the arms and twelve pointed rays of light.
On the walls and in the window intradoses by J. L. Beurer (1668/78, added to in 1910/11 e.g flower garlands): angels with Christian symbols and instruments of the Passion, floral decoration and ornamentation.
Relating to the history of the church with the town coat of arms (1910/11).
With 13 engraved panes of glass, the larger ones in the centre with donors' names and the arms of their guild (1820).
Oversize painting of St Christopher (beg. 16C), overpainted in the baroque period and uncovered again in 1911; further wallpaintings in the chancel were whitewashed again in 1926.
Seating for Schauenstein town council, made by the Schauenstein joiner J. Sonntag (1843).
Case by J. N. Knoll (1720), painted by J. G. Schnürer (1726); the insrument was built originally by the organ-builder A. H. Gruber, Adorf (1720), and renovated in 1839/43 (see the upper cartouche).
Sandstone, painted (1754); four angels in relief carry the large octagonal basin with flowers and fruit around its sides.
In the sacristy, the oldest part of the church building, (c 1300), possibly the face of Otto von Schauenstein, the founder of Schauenstein Castle.
An unusual combination of two late baroque angels (18C) and a tree, at the foot of which is a village with its church (1929); the angel with the lily (symbol of virginity) possibly comes from an Annunciation.
