A Romanesque gravestone decorated with crosses, suns, stars and animal figures is embedded in the porch. The solid oak door between the porch and the church dates from 1531 and is decorated with tracery and the coat of arms of Canon Jørgen Samsing.

Note the beautiful altarpiece from the late 15th century, which was originally three-winged and probably served as a side altar in Aarhus Cathedral. The frescoes date from 1492.
