There is a reference to a 13th-century porphyry baptismal font in this church in an 1952 source [cf. infra], the whereabouts of which are unknown. A baptismal font made of oak in 1862 is the font in use in this church; it has a metal insert and a metal cover; listed and illustrated in BALaT KIK-IRPA [https://balat.kikirpa.be/object/10078777] [accessed 20 September 2024]: "fonts baptismaux [...] Date: 1862 - 1862 [...] hauteur: 132 cm [...] Cuve (int) avec couvercle daterait du XVIIIème (incertain), en laiton, la hauteur 13 cm et le diamètre 30 cm."
A communication to BSI from Pol Herman (e-mail of 10 September 2024) notes: "The neogothic church was built around 1850. It replaced an older church, of which I find no information. A reference to an old font is made in: “Annales de la société pour la conservation des monuments historiques et des œuvres d’art dans la province du Luxembourg, 1849-1850 & 1850-1851“, Arlon, Imprimerie de P.-A. Bruck (1852), page 159: On trouve à Sugny, des fonts baptismaux en porphyre d’un très beau style du XIIIe siècle." No trace now of the whereabouts of this font."
