The church has two organs, from 1973 by Poul-Gerhard Andersen and 1830 by P.U.F. Demant. The crucifix is the only piece of inventory from the church's opening in 1428. It is decorated with biblical depictions. [[Maja Lisa Engelhardt]] created the altar crucifix, of gilded bronze, in 2011. Maja Lisa Engelhardt also created a mosaic for the church in 2015. The largest of the church's chandeliers was donated in 1640 by the mayor's widow, Sidsel Knudsdatter. The other chandelier was donated by mayor Mads Lerke in 1589. The renaissance baptismal font was donated to the church in 1585 by mayor Peder Jensen Skriver. The other baptismal font is Romanesque style in granite, from 1100. Inside the church is a gate from 1649, built by [[Christian IV of Denmark|Christian IV's]] smith, Caspar Fincke. The pulpit is from 1653, made by Anders Mortensen in Odense. The pulpit's staircase is even older. The church has a set of wooden figures of [[John the Apostle]] and [[Jeremiah]]. Like the pulpit, they were also carved by Anders Mortensen. A candle globe, made by local artisan Flemming Knudsen, was added to the church in 2008.<ref>[http://nyborgkirke.dk/vor_frue_kirke.html Nyborgkirke.dk] "Vor Frue Kirke" Retrieved 20 April 2019</ref><ref>[http://www.danmarks-kirker.dk/fyens/nyborg/vorfruge_nyb_fyn.htm Danmarks-kirker.dk] "Vor Frue Kirke Nyborg" Retrieved 20 April 2019</ref>

The church's [[turret clock]], nicknamed "the Syrian tank" (Danish: ''Den syriske kampvogn'') was replaced by an electric movement in 1972. The original mechanical movement was built by Henrik Kyhl from Copenhagen, and initially created for [[Viborg Cathedral]], who couldn't afford it. It was instead bought by Nyborg Church. In 2002 it was donated to ''Post- og Telemuseet'' in Copenhagen.<ref>[https://www.fyens.dk/nyborg/Tag-bare-det-gamle-kirkeur/artikel/215957 Fyens.dk] "Tag bare det gamle kirkeur" Retrieved 20 April 2019</ref>
