The entry for this town in Historisches aus Längenfeld [http://www.similaun.net/laengenfeld.htm] [accessed 11 December 2022] reports a baptismal font bearing the arms of Austria and the Fraß family from Au ob Ötz: "Bemerkenswert ist der alte Taufstein mit den Wappen Österreichs und dem Geschlecht der Fraß aus Au ob Ötz." The font consists of an octagonal basin on two of which sides are panels with the heraldic devices mentioned above; raised on an octagonal pedestal base. The font cover appears to be painted with a marbled wash, and has a large Baptism of Christ by John as finial, painted and gilded, probably ca. 1800.
