Baptismal font in Fresnoy-la-Rivière

The baptismal font in the Catholic parish church of Notre-Dame in Pondron , a district of the French community Fresnoy-la-Rivière in the Oise department in the Hauts-de-France region , was created in the second half of the 13th century. In 1920 the Gothic baptismal font was added to the list of protected objects ( Base Palissy ) in France as Monument historique .

The 96 cm high baptismal font made of limestone stands on a hexagonal base with a cylinder. The three pillars with capitals that stood on the base and reached the height of the pool rim are missing. The upper end of the rectangular basin is profiled.
