A 14th-century font here is reported in SpottingHistory.com [www.spottinghistory.com/view/55/the-church-of-st-michael/] [accessed 23 August 2017]. The entry for this church in Museiverket [www.kulturmiljo.fi/read/asp/rsv_kohde_det.aspx?KOHDE_ID=1523] [accessed 23 August 2017] reports a medieval font of limestone in it: "Triumfkrucifixet, dopfunten i kalksten och altarskåpet som återger Korsvägen är medeltida."
