A whitewashed church interior with round arches shows a carved wooden pulpit with a canopy on the left, above a short wooden stair. Rows of dark wooden benches stand on a raised step to the left, and in the centre two wooden stands draped with white cloths hold dark panels and are decorated with green branches. A hanging lamp on a long chain hangs nearby, leaves lie scattered across the stone floor, and a doorway on the right opens into another room.
