The baptismal font in the Catholic parish church of St-Denis in Mogneville , a French parish in the Oise department in the Hauts-de-France region , was created in the first half of the 12th century. In 1908, the Romanesque baptismal font was added to the list of protected objects ( Base Palissy ) in France as Monument historique .

The 86 cm high baptismal font made of limestone stands on an oval base. The rectangular basin is profiled on the upper edge and decorated on the outside with plants and animal motifs.

The baptismal font was improperly repaired with cement.
