Font Notes:
Bøggild Johanssen (1998- : Bd. 18-19, 1808, 1874) reports the existence of a baptismal font of ca. 1590 in the church of this Franciscan monastery. The same source informs that the font either disappeared or was moved to a now unknown location after the redundancy of this monastery in 1805. NB: this same church received the late-Romanesque ca. 1539 when the parish and fittings of S. Albani church were transferred to it, but in 1590 this very font was sold away and it is now at S. Jørgens Kirke, in Svendborg] [cf. Index entry for S. Albani]
