A Romanesque baptismal font reused as a flower basin In the middle of the castle garden; it consists of a roughly hemispherical basin de corated with a rope moulding below the rim, raised on a round base with a pronounced roll moulding. The former font is broken vertically, the break carrying through the base. There appears to be no information available on the original church where the font came from. [cf. Index entry for Rodenholm Slot No. 1 for the later font in the chapel]
