Teresian zbroynitsa Olomouc - a two-story building, erected in the years 1769-1778 for the storage of weapons and ammunition .  It was built right in the town center next to the Archbishop's Palace .  They say this is the place for the future of Arsenal chose the Empress Maria Theresa .  As you know, she did not get along with the local churchmen and insisted that secular buildings associated with military needs, which is located near the entrance to the palace of Olomouc prelates .  Archbishop many times subsequently complained to higher authorities and demanded to demolish the Teresian zbroynitsu hated, but his request had not been satisfied .  Thus, modern tourists are free to enjoy the building with four wings built in the Baroque style and decorated with bas-relief traditional tympanum .  In the tympanum you can see a picture of military banners and pennants, above which rises a kind of symbol of the greatness of the Habsburgs - a bas-relief of the Roman god of war Mars .

To understand why the Empress needed arsenal, you need to go back to the events of 1742, when the Hamburg Empire became less on zamlyu Upper and Lower Silesia. Then Olomouc turned into a city that stood on the border with neighboring state. Fearing an attack, Maria Theresa ordered to strengthen the local fortress. There were built new fortifications, including a large arsenal in the center of Olomouc.

The building is several times been subjected to alterations, however, many of its interiors have been preserved in its original form. Planning has never been changed in some rooms you can see the arches started even when the Empress Maria Theresa. Such immersion in the story makes an incredible impression and makes you wonder about the passage of time.

At the end of the XX century Teresian zbroynitsa it was transferred to the Palacky University. Now there is the university library.
