It was built at the beginning of the 17th Century according to the design of the great Gdańsk architect, Anthonis van Obberghen. It used to be referred to as the most beautiful arsenal in the world. It acted as a weapon storehouse until 1793, after which it was taken over by the army and closed off to civilians. The facades of the armoury are richly decorated with stonework.
