INFORMATION

FontID: 19283SUN
Church/Chapel: Sunne Kyrka [aka "Fryksdalens domkyrka"]
Church Location: Kyrkogatan 686 23 Sunne, Värmland, Sweden -- Tel.: +46 565-68 85 50
Country Name: Sweden
Location: Värmland, Värmlands län
Directions to Site: Located off the E45, on Storgatan [aka 241]
Ecclesiastic Region: Karlstads stift
Font Location in Church: Inside the new church, at the E end of the nave
Century and Period: 13th century (mid?), Medieval
Cognate Fonts: somewhat similar to the font at nearby Fryksände Kyrka, in Torsby
Church Notes: original church was medieval, probably mid-13thC, the likely date of the font; 1641 church destroyed by fire in 1699; re-built; expanded in 1641; destroyed by fire in 1886; present church is 1887-1888
Baptismal font probably of soapstone; consists of a round basin with tapering sides; like the font at nearby Torsby's Fryksände kyrka [cf. Index entry] it has a band of saw-tooth just below the upper rim, and it is painted black [gives it the appearance of being the folded over lead-lining of the inner well]; a thin rope moulding around the middle of the basin side; a band of saw-tooth patterns at the lower edge of the basin; round pedestal base with roll moulding around its middle; round splaying lower base with a sort of triangulated scallop all around. There is a volume below the stone lower base, as in nearby Torsby, but we are not certain whether i is painted stone of wooden. Wooden font cover; bell-dome shape; painted; rounded brass (?) finial; appears modern.
