The beautiful Renaissance fresco paintings from the second half of the 16th century, which were uncovered during renovation work in 1956, are remarkable. Of these, the coat of arms paintings on the three sides of the corner bay are particularly impressive, where the three coats of arms from the relatives of the Hoffmann family are shown (Salm, Hoffmann von Grünbühel, Polheim).
