A medieval font in this modern church dedicated to Saint-Louis-Roi is listed in Palissy [ref.: IM64001637]: "Fonts baptismaux[grès] (circulaire) [...] ornementation (arcature, pointe de diamant) [...] peut-être du 13e siècle [...] 3e quart 13e siècle (?) [...] proviennent probablement d'une des anciennes églises de Buros ou de Mendousse ; s'il proviennent de l'église de Buros, la date de 1261 portée sur une pierre en remploi dans l'église moderne et qui pourrait être un souvenir de la dédicace de l'église ancienne, pourrait aussi leur être attribuée". The cylindrical tub has an arcade of blind trefoiled arches all around, with diamond/lozenge motifs in the spandrels; a thin moulding decorates the upper rim. The font is located in an enclosure inside the modern church.
