A disused baptismal font located in the courtyard of the medieval castle known as 'Huis Bergh', in 's-Heerenberg, where it stands as a garden ornament; the font consists of a roughly cylindrical basin decorated with [from top to bottom] a pattern somewhat similar to the fonts at Ochtrup and Uelffeln, which Drake classes as 'Bentheim, 1. Group A2, modified cylinder': a flat moulding at the upper rim, a double-rope or braid, an arcade of round blind arches on short columns and a second double-rope or braid; the base, which appears to be part of the single block of sandstone, is a round pedestal tapering towards the lower base, a double chamfer a little wider that the pedestal. There is considerable damage at the upper rim area, which may have been the reason for this font being remove from 'active duty' in its original church or chapel; the damage is at opposite ends of the upper rim, and was obviously caused by the stone splitting and breaking at the two points where the metal anchors of the old font cover had been installed. The font is subject to further damage by the elements, never kind to sandstone.
