Altes Zeughaus

Abstract

The old arsenal was built between 1609 and 1614 and served as a depot for the personal military equipment of the citizens of Solothurn and as a storehouse of weapons and armour for mercenaries. From the 18th century onwards, it was used as a museum, with an exhibition of armour and booty. Completely converted into a museum in 1907, the building was transformed and totally renovated from 2014 to 2016.
