Graz

We went to the Riegersburg in Styria. 
 After the castle we went to Graz to visit the
"Zeughaus"
 In 1642, the Styrians built the first central weapons depot here
to fight against the Ottoman Turks.

It replaced an older structure from 1551.
 It is filled to the rafters with weapons.
 The Zeughaus has 32,000 weapons which makes it the largest
armory of this period in the world. 
These are just a couple of the things we saw.
The boys really liked it. 
We ended the day with a Schnitzel.
