photo 6/2/2009. Cross altar There are five figures: Katharina, Florian and Agatha, framed by the Popes Gregor and Urban. There are four pictures on the inside of the wing: Annunciation and Nativity on the left, circumcision and Adoration of the Magi on the right. Founded around 1470, the cross altar is the only one from the time of church building; the paintings date from the 15th century. It was renewed in the 19th and 20th centuries. The cross altar is built in the neo-Gothic style, but the wooden sculptures and the paintings refer to the late Gothic.
