Styrian Armoury, Military museum in Innere Stadt, Graz, Austria

The Styrian Armoury displays 32,000 military objects across four floors, including weapons, armor, and combat equipment from different historical periods.

The armoury was constructed between 1642 and 1644 by Antonio Solar as a strategic arms depot for the Habsburg Empire's southeastern defense system.

The collection represents the military developments of Styria, containing artifacts manufactured in regional centers like Graz, Nuremberg, and Augsburg from 1500 to 1685.

The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from April to October, with guided tours in German and English available for visitors throughout the day.

During World War II, the entire collection was relocated to three remote Styrian castles for protection, returning without any losses after the conflict.
