A former baptismal font or holy-water stoup made of Namur stone in the 15th century is now used as stoup in the north aisle of the church; it is of octagonal shape and has four heads at 90-degree angles on the basin; mouldings down the basin and base. No cover present, as it is now a stoup. [Souce : Voorloopige lijst der Nederlandsche monumenten van geschiedenis en kunst. Deel VIII, I. De provincie Limburg (Amby-Meer).
