In the chancel there is a baroque altar, the main picture of which shows the Crucifixion.
In 1880 an organ by Wilhelm Hörbiger from Sibiu was installed in the church.
At a distance of 4-7 m, the church is surrounded by a curtain wall. In the north of the church there is a bastion-like building with two floors and a wooden walkway. This building was also used as an apartment. A clock was placed on the north side at the height of the battlement in 1762. The inscription "Maria Micó extrui curavit 1762" is preserved under the cornice. The school used to be housed in the bastion.
