A communication to BSI from Pol Herman (e-mail of 8 January 2025) notes: "The church's furnishings were destroyed in the second half of the 20th century, when it was freely accessible. Only the Renaissance baptismal font, which is kept in the Church of St. Wenceslas in Vysočina, has been preserved.
