Click to view
Baptismal font in the former Benedictine collegiate church of the 12th century; the font itself, however, appears to be of a much later date; it consists of a round basin decorated with rope moulding at the upper rim, and a blind arcade of round arches on the sides of the underbowl; raised on a round pedestal base decorated with mouldings. The basin is damaged, with visible cracks on the sides. [NB: we have no information on the earlier font of this church]
