There are two baptismal fonts reported in this church; the later wooden font is, like the altar, from 1636; it consists of two volumes, both octagonal; the upper volume, corresponding to the basin, has panels on the sides bearing a painted inscription and the date of the font, 1636; protruding upper rim with the lower side brightly painted; the lower side of the basin is skirt-shaped and splaying out, decorated with a painted and gilded garland all around; the base volume is also octagonal, tapering in, with vertical scroll ribs on the lower sides.
