The entry for this church in the Austrian Wikipedia [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfarrkirche_Harmanschlag] [accessed 4 February 2024] mentions a Romanesque font in the tower space ["Der romanische Taufstein steht im Turmerdgeschoß"]. The font is a hemispheric tub-shaped basin with a broad flat moulding as only decoration; it has no base and rests directly on the ground; said to be used now [ca. 2015] as holy-water stoup but it has a modern cover on it. The church has a later font in use located in the northeast corner of the nave. A communication to BSI from Pol Herman (e-mail of 13 September 2023) includes a photograph of the old font, and notes that it is now used as holy-water stoup in the tower space ["Ein einfacher romanischer Taufstein (heute für Weihwasser im Läuthaus)"]
