The Großkarlbach site [http://www.grosskarlbach.de/index.php/2013-04-03-13-26-22/sehenswuerdigkeiten/st-jakobus] [accessed 4 September 2022] notes a baptismal font of 1543 in the 18th-century Catholic parish church, originally from the disappeared abbey church: "Ein Taufstein aus dem Jahre 1543 kam 1757 von Marienmünster nach Großkarlbach." Nothing remains on site of the monastery church; the baptismal font, a 16th-century pulpit and a 17th-century altar ended up in the Catholic parish church of Großkarlbach. There is an entry in the Deutsches Inschriften Online [https://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0238-di029mz02k0043202] [DI 29: Worms (1991) Nr. 432] [accessed 4 September 2022] for an octagonal baptismal font originally from the Marienmünster bearing two dates inscribed on it: "Jahreszahlen auf Taufstein. In der Kirche nahe Südwand, aus Mariamünster. Achtseitiger roter Sandstein mit Jahreszahl [...] neben profiliertem Rand, rechts darunter Jahreszahl [...] auf glatter Seite. Maße: H. 103, Dm. 86, Z. 7 [...], 6,5 cm [...] [...] Pfarrkirche St. Cäcilien."
