Reckturm, Medieval defense tower and weapons museum in Wiener Neustadt, Austria
The Reckturm stands as a corner tower of the former city wall, featuring thick stone walls and architectural elements from the 15th century.
The tower's foundations date to the early 13th century, and it later served as a prison known for interrogations until the 19th century.
The building houses a private weapons museum displaying firearms from 1630 to 1950, along with cut and thrust weapons from the Imperial Army.
Located at Reyergasse corner Petergasse, the museum opens Tuesday through Thursday from 10 AM to 4 PM between May 1st and October 26th.
Art historian Franz Staub prevented the tower's demolition in 1901 and initiated its reconstruction according to 15th-century specifications.
