Described and illustrated in Sveriges kyrkor: Gotland (Bd. II: 57, 58): mid-17th century baptismal font of the type commonly found in the island: shallow hemispherical basin with a baluster-type pedestal; as the same source indicates, the font must be dated to pre-1645, because the anagram of king Christian IV of Denmark appear on it. This font originated from the "Wisborgs slottskyrka" [=Visby castle church].
