With the exception of the Last Judgment here on the west side, the paintings found in the whole church were whitewashed again after 1880. The Last Judgment, however, was restored by the well-known Muttenz artist Karl Jauslin (at that time that meant painting over as precisely as possible line by line). Unfortunately, the organ covers a large part of the picture today, but the heavenly side (with Saint Peter) can be seen well, as well as the terrible hell's jaws with the devilish beings on the other side of the organ. Despite the exact overpainting, the style of the 19th century is clearly expressed; the difference to the paintings (south and north sides) from the beginning of the 16th century, which have been exposed again in the meantime, is clearly noticeable.
