The entry for this church in the Evangelisch-Lutherische Kirchgemeinde Harmannsdorf-Mühlau [https://kirche-hartmannsdorf-muehlau.de/kirche-muehlau/] [accessed 25 July 2023] reports a Romanesque baptismal font that had served as planter in the vicarage garden for a long time until it was brought back to the church in the late 1960s ["Der romanische Taufstein, der vorher als Pflanzkübel vor dem Pfarrhaus stand, wurde Ende der 60er Jahre wieder in die Kirche zurückgebracht und am Altarplatz aufgestellt. Seitdem wird hier getauft"]. The same source (ibid.) notes and illustrates a modern font of stone, also inside the church, in the baptistery chapel ["der Taufkapelle"].
