Landeszeughaus.

Landeszeughaus - Styrian Armoury, Graz, Steiermark, Republik Österreich.

   The Landeszeughaus is considered the largest preserved historical armory in the world. Its approximately 32,000 objects bear witness to a period of conflict and sensitive heritage, serve as a monument and museum to the country's history, are a tourist attraction, and serve restoration and museum purposes. Collection
   The Landeszeughaus collection includes armor and weapons from the 15th to the 18th centuries.
   Around 1700, the amount of military equipment in the armory peaked at nearly 190,000 pieces.
   Today, the collection contains approximately 32,000 suits of armor, firearms and cannons, poles, firearms and stabbing weapons, machine guns and powder horns, and more. The exhibition is spread over four floors and approximately 2,000 square meters of space.

Defensive Weapons
   The collection of defensive weapons allows us to understand how soldiers defended themselves during military operations. They served, on the one hand, infantrymen (skirmishers, lansquenets), and on the other, officers and leaders of noble troops (heavy horsemen, hussars, arquebus riders).
   The Landeszeughaus houses 3,844 objects: armor, helmets, chainmail, and shields.
   The defensive weapons stored in the armory date from 1500 to 1685 and were acquired by Styrian estates from workshops in Graser, Innsbruck, Augsburg, and Nuremberg.
   Of particular significance is the horse armor from the workshop of Innsbruck armorer Konrad Seusenhofer, which was made around 1510 and was donated to the Landeszeughaus in 1814 by Karl Graf Stubenberg. Other special collections include the Archduke Charles II of Inner Austria (1564–1590) from the workshop of the Augsburg armourer Konrad Richter, the armour of Maximilian from the workshop of the Innsbruck Plattner Hans Maystätter, and the tournament armour set of Kaspar Baron in Fels Schenkenberg from the workshop of the Innsbruck armourer Michael Witz the Younger.

The museum displays the works of famous masters:

Konrad Seusenhofer, Innsbruck, Austria.

Michel Witz, the Younger, Innsbruck, Austria.
