Attention is also drawn to the pulpit decorated with a multitude of figures and to the organ with its rich gold decoration, both of the 18th C. On the high altar (also 18th C.) is a revered figure of the Madonna, a pietà (copy of the original which was burned in 1755), surrounded by a garland decorated with cherubs. From the hill on which the church stands there is a magnificent view over the Danube valley to the chain of the Alps, extending from the Wiener Schneeberg to the Traunstein, on the Traunsee.
