Sebastian Regondi (Sebastian Christian Paul Regundi, * around 1664 in Kaisersteinbruch , Western Hungary , today Burgenland ; † 22. November 1717 ) was an Italian master stonemason and sculptor of the Baroque .

Sebastian was the only son of the master stonemason and judge Ambrosius Regondi and Angela. She was around 40 years old when he was born, so " adoption " is also possible. There is no information about this.

Apprenticeship in the Vienna Dombauhauhütte

From the brotherhood book of the Wiener Dombauhütte in St. Stephan in Vienna we learn of Sebastian's assignment on December 27, 1685 by master stonemason Johann Georg Prunner . The main guarantor was the Lower Austrian government adjunct Balthasar Christoph Sacher. Sebastian's father Ambrosius died in 1681. The teacher worked on a fountain for Klosterneuburg Abbey . The acquittal took place on January 14, 1691.
