Arsenal, Military heritage complex in Grave, Netherlands.

The Arsenal features casemates, a chapel, and a main building constructed on a strategic location near the Meuse River fortification line.

The complex stands on the site of the former Castle of Grave, which was demolished in 1688 during modernization works by Menno van Coehoorn.

The original armory transformed into multiple institutions, including a psychiatric facility for women from 1898 to 1973, reflecting changing social needs.

The Arsenal contains multiple spaces suitable for events, with the former munitions house now serving as a venue for celebrations and gatherings.

The complex incorporates an elevated garden area atop artillery mounds, known locally as Gekkenberg, which provided recreation space for patients.
