Capistran-Kanzel, Gothic pulpit at St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, Austria.
The stone pulpit features three-sided balustrades with pointed arches, decorated surfaces, and an open rear platform for access.
The original wooden pulpit, dating from 1430, was recreated in stone and enhanced with sculptural elements by Johann Joseph Resler in 1737.
The pulpit commemorates Saint John of Capistrano, a Franciscan preacher who called for resistance against Ottoman forces after Constantinople's fall in 1453.
Visitors can view the pulpit during cathedral opening hours, with guided tours providing detailed information about its architectural features.
The monument includes a sculpture group depicting Saint John with a flag, standing over a defeated Turkish soldier among weapons and banners.
