The church features beautiful medieval glass in the west window of the south aisle depicting the beheading of St John the Baptist and is thought to be original to the building.

A sumptuous Art Nouveau east window was donated by Count James Gallatin of New York in 1896. It is supposedly the first work by an American glass painter in Europe and is signed Arild Rosenkrantz (1870-1964).
