    The Great Armoury (Wielka Zbrojownia) was built in Gdańsk between 1600 and 1609. It is an outstanding example of Flemish Mannerism.

    Four gables adorn the facade; two gables are found on the eastern front (facing Piwna Street towards St. Mary's Church). The Great Armoury, which served as an arsenal, is flanked by two towers. Bronze sculptures in the form of exploding cannonballs at the gable peaks allude to the building's purpose.

    A masterpiece of Dutch Mannerism is the Great Armory (Wielka Zbrojownia) designed in 1062 with a richly decorated façade. Weapons were once stored here, today art students exhibit their works under magnificent vaults.
