Museum im Zeughaus, Historical museum in Vechta, Germany
The Museum im Zeughaus spans three floors across 1,000 square meters, presenting exhibits about Stone Age, medieval periods, and local history in Vechta.
Built in 1698 as an armory, the brick building served as a granary after the citadel's demolition and functioned as a prison from 1816 until 1991.
The museum houses the First Center for Experimental Medieval Studies, which researches medieval life in collaboration with the University of Vechta.
The museum welcomes 40,000 visitors annually and features interactive exhibitions across three wheelchair-accessible floors with medieval crafting workshops in March and November.
The museum displays a reconstructed boat from Charlemagne's era, measuring 9.20 meters long and 1.80 meters wide, located in the Citadel Park since 2009.
