Click to view
The font in this church was made of bronze in the mid-17th century, and came from the destroyed church of St. Georgen, also in Wismar; the font consists of a cylindrical basin with a protruding upper rim, and otherwise plain except for a row of lion heads decorating the lower moulding side; it is raised on a modern base with four plain legs, but it probably had a more elaborate base originally.
