Romanesque baptismal font noted in the German Wikipedia entry for this church [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Maria_(Großhaslach)] [accessed 30 August 2025]: "Hiervon zeugen noch die Reste einer Wehrmauer und ein romanischer Taufstein, der sich heute in der Taufkapelle befindet." The old baptismal font in this church has a hemispherical basin that appears plain and is much damaged, with a good part of the upper rim missing, and now reinforced by a metal band. The old font is located in a side chapel, to the right of the auxiliary altar. The Evangelische Marienkirche Großhaslach has a later font that is located in the centre of the aisle, in the main nave.
