Zeughaus of Vyborg Castle
Zeughaus of Vyborg Castle, Medieval armory within Vyborg Castle, Russia
The Zeughaus of Vyborg is a medieval weapons storage facility located on Zamkovy Island within the castle fortress walls. It comprises three separate stone buildings that retain their original structures and defensive features.
This facility was built during Swedish rule and served as a weapons storage center through multiple centuries of conflict. The castle changed hands several times, marking the building with layers of different historical periods.
The Zeughaus displays how military storage worked in this region and what kinds of weapons were kept there centuries ago. Visitors can learn from exhibitions about the role this fortress played in regional defense.
You can only visit the Zeughaus as part of a guided tour of the castle, which operates daily. Wear sturdy shoes since you will walk on uneven ground on the island, and check tour times before arriving.
The fortified windows of the Zeughaus are deliberately small and reinforced to protect the weapons stored inside. This design detail reveals how medieval buildings were shaped specifically for their military purposes.
