Click to view
We have located two fonts in the cathedral here; one is kept inside a fancy metal railing enclosure; its roughly hemispherical basin very much resembles those made of Gotland limestone in the 14th century, the so-called 'Paradise' fonts, but now stands on a modern replacement base. [cf. BSI entry for Kamien Pomorski No. 2 for the second font here]
