The entry for this church in the German Wikipedia [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Böllenborn] [accessed 5 February 2024] mentions a baptismal font here consisting of a damaged late-Gothic basin raised on a 19th-century replacement base ["beschädigte spätgotische Taufschale an der Nordwand der Kirche von Böllenborn: weit ausladendes Rundbecken, dessen Randplatte ein Sechseck bildet. Der urspüngliche Fuß fehlt, der jetzige ist undeutlich bez. 1815 oder 1845"]. The font is located outside the church and appears to be disused. No cover present.
