The altar designed in the Baroque style features a Pieta in the center, on the Gospel side, for the viewer standing in front of the altar to the left, the local saint, St. Blasius, with two crossed candles above him and against a little-known saint, St. Quintinus, after whom the place St. Quentin in France is named. The saint, revered as a helper against dropsy, presses his hands, pierced by arrows, onto his head in the depiction from Odert.
The chapel with four simple windows and a small window opening in the gallery or tower area above the entrance door has a closed altar space without its own light. Since the bells had to be surrendered for war purposes, Odert received two new bells in 1948, which hang side by side in the same design. Under an oak leaf ornament, both reveal their origin and their dedication reads: “Cast under H. H. Pastor Thome in Hunolstein for the filial church Odert, 1948.”
