The Onroerend Erfgoed [https://inventaris.onroerenderfgoed.be/erfgoedobjecten/54307] [accessed 1 January 2024] reports a baptismal font of 1687 with a copper cover inside an iron railing enclosure in this church ["Doopvont met koperen deksel, 1687 omgeven door een fraai ijzeren hek"] This font is not listed in the KIK-IRPA database, but Pol Herman has provided the following information (e-mail of 25 May 2023): "Baptismal font in polished limestone, with baluster column and convex basin, and with brass, bell-shaped lid crowned with orb. Basin outside diameter : 86 cm. Total height including lid : 198 cm. Made by Gillis van der Sypt in 1687 [...] The church was plundered during the iconoclasm of 1566. Looting and destruction in 1578-79 and especially the fire of 1583 caused even more damage to the building and destroyed all church furniture. In the second half of the 17th century, new furniture was once again purchased."
