Hussenstein is a black memorial boulder in Constance marking the supposed site of Jan Hus’s execution. Gold lettering names Hus and records his execution. The stone also commemorates Jerome of Prague, executed at the same place during the religious conflicts surrounding the Council of Constance. The council addressed rival papal claims in Constance. Jan Hus challenged church practices, preached in the local language, and defended the search for truth. Street signs in German and Czech identify the Hussenstein. The spot connects Hus’s story with Constance’s wider history of religious debate, reform, and the Council. The Hussenstein memorial is recorded as wheelchair accessible.

The wider setting includes the lakeside Konzilgebäude and a permanent exhibition about Hus’s life and beliefs. Hus’s former prison stood on Dominican Island. The stone therefore brings together a supposed execution site, two victims, and the memory of religious reform in Constance. Its black surface carries the memorial’s clearest detail.
