The Marian chandelier, a Maasland work from the 16th century, and the Jakobus bell in the tower from 1401 come from the old Jakobuskirche. A late Gothic Madonna from the 15th century, which stood in a niche there, was taken from the former Junkerstor. In the church treasury there is a tower-like ostensorium with a relic of the apostle James the Elder.
