    The Great Arsenal (Polish: Wielka Zbrojownia) in Gdansk was built between 1600 and 1609 and was probably built to plans by the architect Anton van Obberghen.
    Table of Contents

    The arsenal, which served as an arsenal, is a typical example of the Flemish Mannerism in Gdansk. The façade on both sides of the building is divided into gables: Holzmarkt four, on the eastern front to Jopengasse two. This is followed by two towers on the sides. The tops of the gables are decorated with bronze sculptures of exploding cannonballs, which clearly indicate the purpose of the building. Two portals each with the coat of arms of Danzig are incorporated symmetrically on the left and right in the gable surfaces. A niche forms the central element of the façade, in which an Athenean statue is erected. In this niche, the builders have specified the construction and renovation data (1605, 1768, 1887).

    In front of the building there is a well connected to the arsenal in the basements.

    The rooms of the armory are now used by the Gdańsk Art Academy. On the ground floor were since the 1920s to about 2007 also shopping.

      The Great Armory (Wielka Zbrojownia) was built in Gdańsk in the period 1600-1609. It is an excellent example of Flemish Mannerism.
      Four gables adorn the facade, on the eastern front (facing Piwna Ul. in the direction of St. Mary's Church) there are two gables, on the sides the Great Armory, which was an arsenal, is flanked by two towers. Bronze sculptures in the shape of exploding cannonballs on the tops of the gables indicate the purpose of this building.
