The present baptismal font in this church is modern, probably of the late-18th century, when the new church was built. We have no information on the earlier font here, but there is medieval holy-water stoup [vigvattenskål] kept in the porch [vapenhuset]; it appears to be of sandstone, quadrangular ouside with a round inner basin, the outer sides tapering in towards the bottom; it may have originally had a base.
