A plan of the old church executed before the 1768 demolition [http://notices-patrimoine.region-alsace.eu/noticespdf/ia00024131.pdf] [accessed 25 February 2018] shows a baptismal font by the north side of the chancel arch; the plan appears to be the only visual evidence that remains from the old church.
