!!!Arsenal

Arsenal, military complex located in 3rd district of Vienna, built 
1849-1856 as a result of the  Revolution of 1848. The brick buildings 
constructed in the style of Romantic  Historicism were designed by L. 
Foerster, T. Hansen, E. van der Nuell, C. Roesner and A. Sicard 
von Sicardsburg. The complex comprised a total of 72 buildings and is 
rectangular. The  Museum of Military History was already included in 
the original plans for the complex. Its borders are formed by high, 
tower-like barracks and low depots. During both World wars, the 
Arsenal served as an army barracks and an arms factory. Since World 
War II, civilian facilities such as the central 
telecommunications agency, federal laboratories now called  arsenal 
research, workshops of the Historical Monuments Authority and 
Bundestheater, the Austrian Institute for Economic Research and 
Burgtheater rehearsal stages have been housed in the Arsenal.
