The Armory, locally known as Das Zeughaus, is a significant historical building located in the old town of Augsburg. It was constructed between the years 1602 and 1607 by the renowned architect Elias Holl. This period piece of architecture offers a glimpse into the city's rich history and is a notable landmark in Augsburg.
One of the striking features of The Armory is the impressive bronze group located above the powerful portal on the east side of the building. This masterpiece was created by the sculptor Hans Reichle and cast by Wolfgang Neidhardt. It depicts the Archangel St. Michael in combat against Satan, a motif that can also be found in the Augsburg Turamichele.
The Tuscan Column Hall, a large hall on the ground floor of The Armory, is a must-visit for tourists. Originally used as a weapons storage, it is now used for exhibitions. The hall's grandeur and historical significance make it a fascinating place to explore.
