Reported in Kloczowski (2000) as an early baptismal font excavated here. "Wislica is a small town but became famous in 1960 when archaeologists uncovered the foundations of three pre 14th century churches. The earliest one dates to the 10th century and contained a 9th century baptismal font, making Wislica into the earliest know[n] religious site in Poland".
