Triumphal arch
The coats of arms of Konrad Münch von Münchenstein (a monk) and his wife Katharina von Löwenberg, who were responsible for the reconstruction after the earthquake, can be seen on the triumphal arch.

Wooden ceiling
The carved wooden ceiling with inscription was made in 1504 by "Ulrich Bruder Tischmacher ze Basel". At that time, the Petersstift in Basel was responsible for the church. Most of the paintings visible today were made at that time (1507), with the exception of the resurrection niche and in the antechoir of the Arbogast legend (1450), as well as the evangelist medallion (early 14th century).

Organ
The old organ had filled the entire altar house and was replaced by a new organ on the gallery after the renovation in the 1970s (Neidhardt & Lhôte, Geneva).
