Styrian Armoury (Landeszeughaus)
Landeszeughaus
The world's largest historic arsenal that remains in its original state, with more than 30,000 suits of armour and weapons from the 15th to 18th centuries.
The Styrian Armoury was built between 1642 and 1644 to arm the Styrian militia against Ottoman invasions. Across four floors, about 32,000 suits of armour, pikes, matchlock muskets, pistols and drums are neatly arranged, largely preserved as they were in the original period. The sight is breathtaking, and it is considered the most completely preserved arsenal of its kind in the world. It is located on Herrengasse, next to the arcaded courtyard of the Styrian Diet. The museum belongs to the Universalmuseum Joanneum. Tickets cost about 12 euros. In winter, often only guided tour sessions are offered. The museum is closed on Mondays.
