Baptismal font made of Namur limestone in 1471 noted and illustrated in the parish web site [https://www.antonius-kevelaer.de/kirchen/st-antonius-kirche-kevelaer/taufstein] [accessed 26 February 2023]: "Ein inzwischen verstorbener Kevelaerer Priester ging bei seinen Heimatbesuchen gern in die Pfarrkirche, legte seine Hand auf den 500 Jahre alten Taufstein und sprach still für sich sein Glaubensbekenntnis [...] Taufsteine aus Namurer Blaustein gleicher Qualität von 1471 existieren in Dinant/Belgien und in St. Quirinus Kevelaer-Twisteden." The basin of this font is octagonal, unlike the round one in nearby Twisteden, with four human heads set at 90-degree angles; stands on a plain octagonal pedestal base and a moulded octagonal lower base. Metal font cover with dove finial; appears modern.
