The Armoury

When the warships were in port, the weapons were stored and handled in the so-called Armoury (Tyghuset). There was also an artillery model chamber, where new weapon models were designed and tested in practice.

To fight at sea, weapons such as cannons were needed, but also firearms and swords for close combat on board. Here you can see many of the most common weapons from the 17th to the 19th century, as well as several of the models that were developed.
