Noted in Sauerman (1904) as similar to the fonts at Höjer, Boisheim and Hönnepel. The font consists of a roughly cylindrical basin decorated with four human heads set at 90-degree angles on the upper sides, raised on a broad shaft and four outer colonnettes, on a square lower base. Font cover of brass with orb-and-cross finial; appears modern.
