Scene Description: Source caption: "Château des Rohan in Mutzig. Elsass. Das Schloss wurde ursprünglich als Residenz des Bischofs Franz Egon von Fürstenberg erbaut und 1673 bezogen. Nachdem die Familie von Rohan das Bischofsamt von Straßburg übernahm, diente das Schloss als Residenz der Herzöge zu Armand Gaston , François-Armand , Louis Constantin und Louis René Édouard de Rohan , zwischen 1704 und 1790. In den letzten Jahrzehnten aber nur noch als Nebenresidenz. Während der Französischen Revolution wurde das Schloss geplündert, enteignet und versteigert. 1799 wurde es von den Gebrüdern Coulaux erstanden. Vom 20. April 1801 bis 1870 (Beginn des Deutsch-Französischer Krieges) diente das Schloss als Waffenmanufaktur. Hier wurden die berühmten Chassepot-Gewehre hergestellt. Heute beherbergt das Schloss das städtische Museum von Mutzig (mit einer großen Gewehrsammlung) und verschiedene kulturelle Einrichtungen."

Baptismal font that was probably originally from the parish church at Mutzig, but had been removed by 1735 and served as planter in the rectory garden until 1977, when it was transferred to the municipal museum, according to Palissy [ref.: IM67016650]: "fonts baptismaux [grès] Cuve octogonale à décor en bas relief : arcature, animaux ou être fantastique [Salamandre, lion, sirène, oiseau, homme, agneau pascal dans un médaillon circulaire] sculptés sous des arcs et motifs végétaux (fleurs, grappes de raisin, feuillages) sculptés au-dessus des arcs [...] Socle et bord de la cuve abimés (manques) [...] Ces fonts de la fin du 13e ou des premières décennies du 14e proviendraient de l'ancienne église paroissiale mais ne s'y trouvaient déjà plus au moins depuis 1735 (d'après le cartel du musée). Ils servirent de bac à fleurs dans le jardin du presbytère jusqu'en 1977." An octagonal sandstone font dated to the 13th century in Le patrimoine des communes du Bas-Rhin (1999). The large basin has an arcade of sixteen (?) Gothic trefoil arches all around; some of the arches have under them one of: salamander, lamb, lion, siren eagle and a male human figure; the spandrels of these arches are decorated with individual motifs, apparently leaves and fruit or cones. The base is also octagonal and very short and the edges of the upper rim ar damaged. The source [cf. supra] reports this font as having been at the Château in town named "des Rohan" after the ecclesiastical family who owned in the 18th century. The font served as ornament in the presbitery garden for a time until it was moved to the protection of the Musé Municipal de Mutzig, a wise move considering the soft stone of which is made, sandstone; the museum caption reads "de beroemde "Chassepot" doopvont van de dertiende-eeuwse stenen opgehemeld terminals, wapenschild van adellijke families van Merovingische objecten" [https://www.france-voyage.com/frankrijk-steden/mutzig-26662/museum-armes-4735.htm] [accessed 29 November 2023]. The church at Mutzig, Eglise paroissiale Saint-Maurice, has a modern font, listed in Palissy [ref.: IM67016545]: "Fonts en grès en forme de calice, avec cuve ornée de godrons. Couvercle en cuivre doré repoussé et bronze doré (croix sommitale) [...] Fonts de la fin du 18e siècle ou du début du 19e, dont le couvercle actuel fut réalisé en 1962 par Charles Jost, de Mutzig."
