The pulpit in the Catholic Church of St-Sulpice in Fougères , a French parish in the Ille-et-Vilaine department in the Brittany region , was created between 1731 and 1735. The pulpit was added to the list of architectural monuments in France in 1965 as Monument historique .

The wooden pulpit was created by Chesnel. The sound cover, which is decorated with a frieze all around , is crowned by an angel.

The polygonal pulpit is decorated with plant motifs such as acanthus. The wooden staircase winds around the pillar to which the pulpit is attached.
