INFORMATION

FontID: 23221TOR
Church/Chapel: Töreboda kyrka [formerly Björkängs kyrka]
Church Location: Fredsbergsvägen 1, 545 32 Töreboda, Sweden
Country Name: Sweden
Location: Västergötland, Västra Götalands län
Directions to Site: The new church is located off the crossing of local roads O3045 [aka Nygatan] and O3047 [aka Kyrkogatan], NW of the 200-202 crossroads, 15 km E of Mariestad
Ecclesiastic Region: Skara stift
Historical Region: Vadsbo härad
Font Location in Church: Inside the new church, in the nave, near the left side of the chancel arch
Church Notes: the medieval church in Björkäng was replaced by a wooden chapel in the 17thC, as it appears in Peringskiöld's late-17thC Monumenta; demolished in 1870 and replaced by a new brick church in the same year [NB: the new church has a north-south orientation, with the church tower in the north, instead of the west, end]; modified and restored 1951 and 1981
Noted in Hallbäck (1971). Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 920425F2] as a baptismal font made of sandstone ca. 1200 by a regional workshop; the font is set on a modern double plinth. The font consists of a round tub with a single thin tope moulding below the rim and a short chamfer towards the bottom, on a short base with a thick roll moulding atop. No cover present. The very short height of the font, 54 cm in the SHM source, must mean that there was an additional block now lost. No cover present. The baptismal dish was made of brass in 1637 [cf. ImagesArea].
