To the east of the parish church stands a two-story circular building: the Karner (charnel house). The upper floor formerly housed a Michael's Chapel. Beautiful wall paintings can still be seen here: In the lower zone, a painted curtain, above it, apostle crosses. On the west wall: Madonna, Agnes, Margaretha, Presentation of Jesus in the Temple, Procession and Adoration of the Magi, Birth of Jesus Christ and Adoration of the Shepherds. Northeastern side: Crucifixion of Christ with Mary and John, Barbara. East wall: John the Baptist, Stephen, Mary in Expectation, Fragment of a Donor. In the center above the former apse: Christ Pantocrator (Ruler of the World) and a band of scripture with the year 1370, Annunciation to Mary, Dorothea, kneeling donor couple, Saints, Marriage of Mary. In the crypt – the actual ossuary – (not accessible) the overall picturesque decoration with the Last Judgment and the Cloak Madonna (around 1400) is largely destroyed.
