Click to view
Chalice-shaped baptismal font of bronze bearing an inscription that identifies the donation date, 1611, the donor, burgomaster Hans Tillufson, and the Lubeck maker, Reiholdt Benning. Tynell (1913-1921: 54) reports a medieval baptismal font that existed in this church; that font had disappeared by the time of the church inventory carried out in 1830.
