A newel, also called a central pole, is the central supporting pillar of a spiral staircase. It can also (usually as "newel post") refer to an upright post that supports the handrail of a stair banister. In stairs
having straight flights it is the principal post at the foot of the
staircase, but it can also be used for the intermediate posts on
landings and at the top of a staircase. Although its primary purpose is
structural, newels have long been adorned with decorative trim and
designed with different architectural styles.
