A former baptismal font from this church is noted and illustrated in Gustav Reingrabner's article Was blieb von der Reformation?, in Das Waldviertel (1993, Heft 3, s.223) [http://archiv.daswaldviertel.at/hefte_digital_91-2000/das_waldviertel_1993_3_ocr.pdf] [accessed 13 June 2024], serving as garden planter; it is a roughly hemispherical basin decorated with a round moulding at the upper rim, a much thinner one below the underbowl, on a squat circular base that nay be part of the basin block; the front side of the basin shows a large drain hole, obviously made for the drainage of the tub in the garden. The present font is modern, made of marbled wood ["aus marmoriertem Holz"] ca. 1900.
