On-site notes: the font illustrated in Enlart for this town is no longer found there [BSI visit of June 2000]; instead we found a an octagonal font that looks like it was originally a holy-water stoup, probably from the 14th or 15th century, now used as font. We were not able to get any further information on the whereabouts of the double-font originally reported here by Enlart.
