The baptismal is from the 12th century and is made of sandstone.
The brass dish bears the year 1659.
It was originally placed in the old church from the same time area.
It resembles a baptismal in Höör's church which is known to have been carved by Mårten Stenmästare.
When the baptismal font was renovated in the 1930s, the original colors of the font were removed and a brass baptismal font was purchased.
The church was replaced in 1874.
