Türkenbefreiungsdenkmal in St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, Memorial monument inside St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, Austria
The marble monument features intricate sculptures depicting key figures from the Ottoman siege, positioned prominently within the cathedral's sacred space.
Created in 1883 to mark 200 years since Vienna's defense against Ottoman forces, the monument shows Count Rüdiger von Starhemberg with citizens and students.
The memorial combines religious and secular elements, with the goddess Victoria at its center alongside figures of Madonna and military commanders.
The monument stands in the cathedral's interior, accessible through guided tours that explain its historical context and architectural details.
Parts of the original monument, damaged in 1945 when the Pummerin bell tower fell, are now displayed in Vienna's Historical Museum.
