Guided Story
Imagine stepping back to a time when this building was bustling with the clatter of armor and weapons. What you see before you was once Cologne's city arsenal. Look at those sturdy walls – they stand as a testament to the city's historical defense. To your left, you'll find the Old Guardhouse, quietly standing as a sentinel of the area's rich past. Behind you, a little further south, is the NS Documentation Center, another significant site echoing with Cologne's history. It's said that these stones have heard many whispers of the past. Take a moment to soak in the atmosphere that has endured through the centuries.
