Zámek Konopiště - Konopiste Castle, Benešov, Středočeský kraj, Česká republika.
The Konopiště Castle Armory was created from collections from an Italian inheritance, containing the d'Este and Obizzi families' armouries. In 1887, Franz Ferdinand d'Este purchased the castle and began further expanding the collection. Almost the entire collection, comprising 4,618 items, has survived to this day, and only the most valuable pieces are on display in the Armory. Particularly noteworthy are the Tournament Armour of Gesualdo da Venossa della Chiesa (1594, Milan) and the Ceremonial Armour of Pia Enea Obizzi (c. 1570, northern Italy).
