The interior was decorated with Gothic frescoes of saints, which at the time of the Reformation were for ideological reasons covered with a white layer of lime. The original wooden ceiling was replaced by a cross vault during the Renaissance. The main nave was extended by a presbytery with a main altar and a sacristy. Under the presbytery there was a smaller crypt, which was empty at the time of the discovery ", explained Mgr. Vladimír Pinďák from the Trenčín Museum in Trenčín.
