INFORMATION
FontID: 03805STE
Church/Chapel: Chapelle du cimetière [ancienne église paroissiale]
Church Location: Grand'Rue, 67220 Steige, France
Country Name: France
Location: Bas-Rhin, Grand Est
Directions to Site: Located off the D424, 6 km WNW of Villé, 25 km NW of Sélestat
Ecclesiastic Region: Diocèse de Strasbourg
Historical Region: Alsace
Font Location in Church: Inside the cemetry chapel [ancient parish church]
Century and Period: 12th century [lower base only] -- 14th century [basin and stem] [composite font], Medieval / composite
Church Notes: cemetery chapel, former parish church of the 12thC, remodelled in the 17thC -- listed in Mérimée [ref.: PA00085008]
Listed in Palissy [ref.: PM67001776, IM67012834]: "Ces fonts baptismaux sont composés d'une base pouvant dater du 12e siècle et d'une cuve datant probablement du 14e siècle [...] Base de plan carré, dont les angles sont rabattus et sculptés de boules semi-engagées. Le fût et la cuve sont monolithes. Le fût est de plan circulaire et la cuve à seize pans." [NB: one of the Palissy entries gives the name of the church as Sainte-Madeleine; the font is not in Sainte-Madeleine's, which is the modern church, but in the cemetery chapel, which was re-built on the remains of the medieval parish church]. Polygonal (16 sides) mounted font listed in the Patrimoine des communes du Bas-Rhin (1999, v. 2, p. 1512). The polygonal basin and the cylindrical stem base are rather uninteresting, unlike the lower base which is round-to-square with a good rope motif around its top and beveled angles with half-ball motifs, one of them broken. The font cover appears to be a rather crude flat wooden one with a handle and a metal cross-bar that locks into metal staples in the upper rim of the basin.
