The wall to the left of the choir preserves, in a pointed arch, a fresco 3, 45m wide and 3, 25m high. On the right, Saint-Christophe carrying the Child. Above, Christ succumbs to the cross, with a figure wearing a robe at his side. On the left, at the top, Saint Catherine leans with her left hand on a sword; behind her is a wheel. These frescoes appear to date from the early 17th century.
