Turning one's gaze toward the right-hand wall, one discovers that the armory's richness remains undiminished. Here again, the display impresses with the variety and density of the weapons: slender spears, sharp halberds, imposing maces, and also finely crafted crossbows that testify to the military ingenuity of the era. Each piece seems to have been preserved with the aim of showcasing not only its form, but also its function, its power, and its history.
But this wall also holds other treasures, revealing the armor worn by those who defended the castle. A breastplate, a helmet, and a chainmail vest offer tangible evidence of the protection required against assaults. These gleaming, finely crafted metal pieces contrast with the pinkish stone and dark paneling, accentuating the impression of power and presence emanating from the room. Each element speaks of the constant vigilance and discipline of the warriors, ready to defend the ramparts or train young novices under the watchful eye of the master-at-arms.
Walking along this wall, visitors sense the intimacy of the soldiers' daily lives: their meticulously maintained equipment, their skill in wielding these instruments of war, the fusion of technique, strength, and strategy. The complete display of weapons and armor, arranged in neat rows, conveys all the seriousness and prestige of this room, which is at once a workshop, a museum, and a living testament to the martial past of Haut-Kœnigsbourg.
