It was renovated in 1991 when a new gateway was added to the church. An extensive renovation in 2013 was aimed at returning the interior that had been removed during an earlier renovation to its original characteristics as far as possible. For example, the modern lamps were replaced by wall chandeliers and a ceiling chandelier in the middle. The original panel sections of the doors were also made visible again.
