This article is about a unique kind of armor, known as "kastenbrust", from the middle of the 15th century and which is known mainly from pictures on paintings or sculptures. According to the author, there are only five preserved specimens currently preserved in public collections: in Glasgow, New York, Berlin, Vienna, and the latest is a newly discovered breast plate from the Frýdlant State Castle in Bohemia. It is most likely the production of Tyrolean workshops from Innsbruck or Müllau.
