The entry for this church in Ommersyssel Østre Pastorats kirker og sogne [https://www.ommersysseløstrepastorat.dk/pastoratets-kirker/udbyneder-kirke] [accessed 18 Februaty 2026] reports a baptismal font made of wood and similar to the one in the church of Katsbjerg: " Døbefonten med himmel er udskåret i træ ligesom fonten i Kastbjerg kirke." The entry for this church in LEX (Danmarks Nationalleksikon) [https://lex.dk/Udbyneder_Kirke] [accessed 18 February 2026] mentions a hexagonal font made of wood ca. 1650; its has demifigures at the corners of the basin: "Døbefonten i egetræ fra omkring 1650 har seks sider og hjørnehermer, dvs. halvfigurer på halvsøjler. Himlen er samtidig med fonten."
A communication to BSI from Pol Herman (e-mail of 25 January 2026) informs: "The oak baptismal font from around 1650 has six sides and corner herms, i.e. half-figures on half-columns" and provides two URLs https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Udbyneder_Kirke and https://lex.dk/Udbyneder_Kirke, as well as a number of images [cf.
