On-site notes: pedestal stoup located next to a column, at the west end of the nave, to the right of the entrance; the round basin is ornamented with ribbed pattern; it could date from the 17th or 18th century perhaps. There is another stoup on the left side, square and of more crude workmanship, that could be of an earlier date. There is also a baptismal font garded by a metal railing farther to the left, by the next column; the font is dated 1881.
