Riegersburg Arms Museum
The weapons museum displays armor and swords, rifles and pistols. Craftsmanship and technical skills span 400 years. Defense and attack, hunting and pleasure.
These weapons collections consisted of various types of bronze and armor, sabres and swords. Previously, they were in the castle armory and depot. This was often mistaken.
In fact, the weapons collection is very broad, including items from the late Middle Ages, the 15th century, the early modern period, and the 17th century. This is the most accessible from this period, not surprisingly, but Riegersburg at this time was known as "the strongest fortress: Christianity known."
The timeframe ranges from the Middle Ages to the 17th century. The main priorities are weapons for combat (red display), as well as for military purposes. Finally, a comparison with the first weapons is drawn.
The visitor enters the museum, which (some) objects and is encouraged to tinker with them.
