The entry for this church in Marktgemeinde St. Martin [https://www.st-martin.eu/Geschichte_der_Pfarre_Sankt_Martin] [accessed 5 February 2024] mentions a late-Romanesque, ca. 1300, baptismal font in it, a round basin on a squat pedestal base ["Das Taufbecken: Spätromanischer Taufstein um 1300 mit runder Schale auf gedrungener Säule. Deckelaufsatz barock, Holz geschnitzt und vergoldet"] but the baluster-shaped base is probably 17th-18th century while the basin could be late-Romanesque; a composite font?
