Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Statue on the right is Minerva, Roman goddess of wisdom and sponsor of arts, trade, and strategy.

The Styrian Armoury, is the world's largest historic military armoury and attracts visitors from all over the world. It holds approximately 32,000 pieces of weaponry, tools, suits of armour for battle and ones for parades.

Between the 15th century and the 18th century, Styria was on the front line of almost continuous conflict with the Ottoman Empire and with rebels in Hungary. In order to defend itself it needed troops and these troops needed equipment. The Styrian Armoury results from the resulting need to store large quantities of armour and weapons, and was built from 1642 - 1645.
