Composite baptismal font consisting of a roughly hemispherical basin said to be a gift (?) of Lübeck bishop Eberhard von Holle († 1586), raised on a round baluster-shaped pedestal base; the base has foliage decoration and is moulded at the lower end. No cover present. Given the date of the present church -1860s- the basin of the font must have originated in the earlier church here.
