Notes

From Barth Magnus (119): Between 1515 and 1525 the church was embellished with mural paintings of the Renaissance type showing a relationship with both Albertus Pictor's and other late Gothic schools. Two masters may have been working in the church, one in the traditional style, and one who was more modern.
