Described and illustrated in Danmarks kirker: Århus amt (1968- , Bd. 9, hft. 50: 4814 and fig. 18 on p. 4815) as a rather unusual baptismal font for this area; only the original granite basin remains, cylindrical and almost totally devoid of ornamentation except for two thin roll mouldings on the upper rim side and one more at the bottom of the underbowl, in the centre ring position. The base is modern, added in the second half of the 19th century.
