Church Notes: 14thC church; modified in the Renaissance
There are two fonts in this church: a fragment of a font located outside [cf. BSI entry for Kralice No. 1] and the baptismal font in use inside the church; the latter is a chalice-shaped vessel with a goblet-shaped basin and a round pedestal base; whereas the plain basin is at all appearances ancient, perhaps dating back to the original 14th-century church here, the stem and lower base look very much like a modern replacement. No cover present.
