The interior is of surprisingly high artistic value for a small village chapel. The high altar has a baroque architectural structure with twisted columns and knobwork. The altarpiece shows the poor souls. The crowning is the coat of arms of the bailiff Hermann von Lauter. He may also have donated the altar, because during the last restoration there was an inscription on the back of the coat of arms, according to information from Georg Kupfer, Nackendorf: H. V. Lauter, Vogt zu Höchstadt A.D. 1684 Resurrection of Lazarus and the Kremer family of donors (1614). Above this is an image of the Help of Mary. The Madonna is full of bitter, maternal beauty. With her left hand she hugs the baby Jesus and with her right hand she holds a scepter. The aureole itself is more recent. The baroque Vespers group under a canopy (war memorial) on the left side of the choir was created by the Bamberg court sculptor Johann Bernhard Kamm (February 4, 1736 - March 10, 1816). There are four beautiful late Gothic statuettes on the left and right of the walls of the aisle. Right St. Laurentius the church patron and St. Ottilia; left Anna Selbtritt and a Madonna with child. Karl Sitzmann attributes the Madonna, Laurentius and Ottilia to Tilmann Riemenschneider's sphere of influence.
