Johann-Nepomuk-Kapelle, Am Tabor

Johann-Nepomuk-Kapelle, Am Tabor, Catholic chapel in Leopoldstadt, Vienna, Austria.

The Johannes-Nepomuk-Kapelle Am Tabor is a small rectangular chapel on the north side of Taborstraße in front of house 89, in Vienna's Leopoldstadt district. It has a bell roof, and its main facade opens through a basket-arch doorway framed by pilasters, above which garlands, shells and putti heads form a relief. Inside stands a stone statue of Saint John Nepomuk with putti and a cross on a volute pedestal.

The chapel was built in 1728 as a Linienkapelle, one of the chapels dedicated to Saint John of Nepomuk at the gates of Vienna's Linienwall. Its stone statue of the saint, bearing a chronogram with the year 1728, originally stood in the house chapel of the nearby toll building erected around 1730 and was moved here in 1879. In 1963 the chapel was shifted to the northern side of Taborstraße for traffic reasons, remaining in the 2nd district; Felix Czeike's 1994 claim that it lies in the 20th district is an error.

The chapel is one of many John of Nepomuk dedications in Vienna, chosen because line chapels stood near bridges over the wall moat. The stone statue inside, with putti and a cross on a volute pedestal, came from the house chapel of the nearby toll building (Am Tabor 2, Taborstraße 80) and was moved here in 1879. Its pedestal inscription carries the chronogram 1728.

The chapel stands on the northern side of Taborstraße in front of house 89, near the widened junction with Nordwestbahnstraße, Scherzergasse and Am Tabor. The boundary with Vienna's 20th district runs immediately to its left. Tram line 5 once ran through Trunnerstraße past the earlier site; today the chapel is reached on foot from the nearby streets.

The stone statue inside is older than the chapel itself: it stood in the house chapel of the nearby toll building (Am Tabor 2, Taborstraße 80), built around 1730, and was moved here in 1879. Its volute pedestal carries a chronogram reading 1728, the year the chapel was built.
