The entry for this church in Geschichtstouren.de [https://geschichtstouren.de/strasse-der-romanik/nordroute/sandau-pfarrkirche-st-nicolausst-laurentius/?L=0] [accessed 23 October 2023] reports and illustrates a late-Romanesque baptismal font in this church, originally from a church in Felgeleben, near Schönebeck/Elbe ["Zur Ausstattung der Kirche gehört dieser spätromanische Taufstein. Allerdings stand dieser nicht immer hier, sondern wurde aus einer Kirche in Felgeleben bei Schönebeck/Elbe hierher umgesetzt"]. Illustrated in raymond-faure.com [http://www.raymond-faure.com/Strasse_der_Romanik/Sandau_Pfarrkirche_St_Laurentius_Nikolaus_Chor.html] [accessed 23 October 2023]. The entry for this church in the German Wikipedia [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Laurentius_und_St._Nikolaus_(Sandau)#cite_note-geschichte-3] [accessed 23 October 2023] notes that a Romanesque baptismal font was installed in this church in the 1977-1978 restoration [gives Geschichte der Kirche auf der Website der Initiative zum Wiederaufbau des Turmes as source]. Noted in the Straße der Romanik [https://www.strassederromanik.de/de/detail/pfarrkirche-st-laurentius-st-nikolaus.html] [accessed 23 October 2023] as a baptismal font with an octagonal basin decorated with a vine all around. raised on a round base, installed in the 1977-1978 restoration of the church ["Zwischen 1977/78 erfolgte die Innenrestaurierung der Kirche und bekam in dieser Zeit auch den romanischen Taufstein mit rundem Fuß, achteckiger Schale und umlaufendem Rankenfries."] The entry for the Felgeleben church in the German Wikipedia [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin-Luther-Kirche_(Felgeleben)] [accessed 23 October 2023] reports a Romanesque baptismal font decorated with a vine all around; located in the basement of the church [NB: the entry in Wikipedia, which reports the font still in the Felgeleben church basement has obviously not been updated since the font was moved to Sandau in 1978].
