Kaponier, Vechta
Highlight • Historical Site
You'll find it a little off the busy shopping street behind the market square.
Along with the armory, it's the only remaining fortification building of the former citadel. In this very special building, with its long and dark history, you can now experience art from the region up close.
The massive, pentagonal caponier was actually built in 1705 as an outer fortification and prison for the citadel, directly above the Moorbach stream. Its walls are only about 30 centimeters thick on the west side – and this had strategic reasons, especially during the wars of the time. In the event of an enemy occupation, the people of Vechta could have destroyed the building themselves with a few well-aimed cannon shots from the citadel.
Primarily because of its special atmosphere, the Caponier is now a popular exhibition space for art of all kinds. The Kaponier Art Association regularly allows artists to show their works within these quaint walls.
Exhibitors include renowned artists from Germany and abroad.
