Baptismal font (Courteuil)

Baptismal font in Courteuil

The baptismal font in the Catholic parish church of St-Gervais in Courteuil , a French parish in the Oise department in the Hauts-de-France region , was created in the 14th century. In 1912, the Gothic baptismal font was added to the list of protected objects ( Base Palissy ) in France as Monument historique .

The 97 cm high baptismal font made of limestone stands on a hexagonal base, which is decorated all around with flower reliefs. The oval basin bears a coat of arms with a cross as the only decoration.

The lid is from a later time.
