This church has a modern baptismal font in use. Also inside the church is an object used as holy-water stoup: it consists of an octagonal basin with a decorated flat moulding, the rounded underbowl plain below; raised on an octagonal-to-square pedestal base decorated with mouldings and Ogee motifs on the stem; the object is likely the original baptismal font ["Dafsteen"] now used as stoup ["Wäiwaasserdëppchen"].
