Limestone baptismal font of the late-Gothic period consisting of a basin dated to 1565 raised on an octagonal Gothic base [source: www.skene.be]. Noted in Famenne Ardenne [https://www.famenneardenne.be/details/ALD-01-08H4-1FQI&type=11/] [accessed 21 August 2022]: "Ce haut édifice mononef a été construit en 1767 et remplace l'antique oratoire situé en dehors du village. Il renferme un abondant mobilier du XVIIIe siècle (autels, confessionnal, chaire, bancs et chemin de croix), ainsi que des fonts baptismaux gothiques de 1565. En face de l'église, se trouve le presbytère (1752). Derrière le cimetière paroissial, des fouilles ont mis au jour les vestiges de l'ancienne église de Froidlieu (VIIIe-XVIIIe siècles).(Source : Jean-Luc Duvivier de Fortemps / Maison du Tourisme du Pays de la Haute-Lesse)."
