Described and illustrated in Le patrimoine des communes de la Mayenne (2002, v. 2: 542): baptismal font of the 17th century consisting of a hemispherical basin with high-relief ribbed pattern; it is raised on an octagonal baluster pedestal; low-dome cover with Latin cross finial. This source suggests that the font may have been originally from the chapel of the castle. [Flohic ref. no. 53160240].
