Zeughaus Lübeck, Renaissance armory near Lübeck Cathedral, Germany

The Zeughaus features Dutch Renaissance architecture with red brick walls, sandstone ornaments, and a central entrance adorned with decorative elements.

Built in 1594 next to Lübeck Cathedral, the structure initially served as a granary before its conversion into an arsenal for storing weapons.

The building reflects northern German military architecture and demonstrates the transformation of defensive structures into cultural heritage monuments.

The former armory now houses the Archives of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck and stands near the cathedral in the old town district.

During the 1920s renovation, the building incorporated police facilities, and in the 1930s, it contained Gestapo interrogation cells.
