Described in Bilbao (1994: 131) as an octagonal mounted baptismal font of the medieval period. Bilbao (ibid.) cites an entry in the Catálogo Monumental de la Diócesis de Vitoria. The village has also a very good rural chapel [ermita] listed and illustrated in the Enciclopedia del románico [https://www.romanicodigital.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/files/burgos_SAN_VICENTEJO_DE_TREVIÑO.pdf] [accessed 17 May 2025] but there is no font in it.
