The present-day St. Martin Chapel was consecrated on 30 June 1695. Its high altar dates from 1698, while the two side altars were created in 1704. An apostle series by Hans Ardüser from 1593 has been preserved on the north wall of the nave. The left altarpiece depicts the Coronation of Mary, while the right one shows a Mater Dolorosa. A Late Gothic Pietà stands on the northern side altar. The apostle murals date from the last quarter of the 18th century.
