The carved altar consists of the shrine cabinet containing three saints – the patron saint of the church in the centre, St. Bartholomew to the left and St. Gereon to the right – two folding wings, each with a saint in relief (St Simon to the left and St Jude Thaddeus to the right), and a predella with a painting of God the Father. The alterpiece used to feature a superstructure that is documented in old photographs; by analogy, the main canopy contained another sculpture, probably standing Christ in Agony. The outer sides of the wings, displayed when the altar is closed, are adorned with the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin, depicting the angel to the left and Mary at the lectern to the right. It is evident that the shrine cabinet was also flanked with tall, narrow carved wings like those of the superstructure.
