The entry for this church in Oficiální stránka města Planá [https://www.plana.cz/mesto/o-meste-a-okoli-/mistni-casti/otin-ottenreuth/] [accessed 1 February 2025] reports a Gothic font in it ["Gotická je též křtitelnice"]. The font, the basin of which appears to bear an inscription in Gothic lettering on the sides, is probably dated to the late-14th century, when the polygonal apse was added to the earlier church; it is partly built into the northeast corner of the chancel and bears traces of bluish paint. No cover is present but the inner rim of the basin shows an indentation to fit a round cover, and there are two metal staples in the upper rim to secure a cover.
