A winged altar from the 16th century is currently in the choir room, leaning against the south wall. According to a note in the memorial book, the altar dates from 1565. The front of the movable wings depicts the crowning with thorns, Ecce homo, scourging, preparation for crucifixion with explanatory Latin inscriptions. The closed wings show eight passion images: Capture, Caiaphas, Denial of Peter, Mocking, Mount of Olives, Last Supper , Pilate and Judas' betrayal.

The ore baptismal font was cast in 1477. The baptismal font measures 127 cm in height, 62.5 cm in diameter of the cuppa. It has an openwork nodus. A minuscule inscription decorates the nodus and cuppa, as well as numerous medallions. The medallions depict Veronica's sweat shroud, Olivet prayer, St. John's boy with the crowned cross, Mary, Christ on the cross with St. John digging the earth and Mary watering it, a symbolic representation of the Trinity, an eagle, an Ecce homo, a saint, angels with banners and the coronation of Mary. The decoration of the nodus consists of: 14 times the Samson fighting with the lion, 12 times horseman with falcon and 2 times animal with crowned ox head. A row of sirens appears at the foot. Leaf border and row of lilies decorate the foot of the baptismal font. The inscription is partly Latin, partly German.

A three-storey stone bell tower will be built in front of the west front of the central nave. It measures 6.6 x 8.4 m in plan. The belfry is set up on the third floor of the tower. This bell tower was raised by one storey around 1530 and received a wooden battlement on hanging trestles. On the third floor, the room is covered with a brick barrel vault.

The choir has five two-part windows with tracery. The decoration of the tracery consists of cloverleaf arches, trefoils and quatrefoils. A three-story tower was built above the choir around 1530. For this purpose, the buttresses are extended to the eaves and the walls of the last floor are set on brackets with casting holes between them.

Between the gate tower located to the west and the church tower, the particularly strongly fortified well yard is created. 14 m high walls have buttresses on the inner side, which support a battlement. On the north side, a door leads into the well yard, which is protected by pitch noses and portcullis. The well yard with its strong fortifications in a small space: covered battlements on high arches, coulter towers, gate and church tower is a unique solution in Transylvania.

A first oval circular wall with a gate tower was built around the church in the 14th century. On the inside of the ring wall, brick arches were added in the 15th century, which carry the battlements. The wall's irregular oval is reinforced by three towers to the west, north and north-east. Remains of this ring wall are preserved in the south-west, west and south-east of the complex. The walls are 80 cm thick. The embrasures, located in hollow circular niches, are served from the battlements. In the middle of the 16th century, a second ring was built at a distance of 10-12 m from the inner ring wall and the complex was additionally protected from the outside by a moat. With the exception of the north-western section, where the school stands today, the outer wall is mostly preserved.
