Around the year 1562, a building was erected on the site of the former Jewish meat yard, which was to serve as an armory for the defense of Vienna. The Bürgerliches Zeughaus is a three-storey building with a baroque façade facing Am Hof square.

2. **Architectural beauty**: The buildings are impressively designed in the Renaissance style, with elegant facades and historical details. The architecture offers an insight into the building art of that time.
