Born in Sikh family is a blessing. We got physically and mentally trained for battles. Our history and our ancestors always inspired us to to be worriers. This is one the reason that Sikh regiment has been deployed on sensitive borders in India. I got the opportunity to visit Prague in September 2015. Everyone asked me to visit Prague castle. Everything about this castle is unique and wonderful. The architecture of this building is really very impressive. It reflects Gothic and Roman architecture that is what I was told. But as a layman, I can say with surety that I love Prague castle. There are many sections of this complex including many churches and a museum with is dedicated to the medieval weaponry. Czech has been pioneered in weapon making and till today check pistols are world popular. The weaponry section has showcased some of very interesting artefacts that were used in battles and some of them for personal use. The armoury has quite spectrum of weapons including Guns, maces, swords, knifes, bows and arrows, and big canons. This was the most interesting part of visit. There was a room just close the weapons room especially build for torture. ancient tools have been on display that were used to torture people or even execution. The sight was horrific. No one wants to be in that room even in their dreams. The display of weapons in the room has been cataloged with numbers and the name of the weapon. They were classified and dispelled accordingly in different sections. I tried to have photographs of all of the weapons from different angles. I wish you all the best for your journey and please be safe. Wear your mask.

This exhibit is on Golden Lane and is an exhibition of torture methods and armoury. There's a steep climb up some narrow staircases were there's about 6 rooms of exhibitions. Most of the collection are of a good standard, but mostly just a collection of stuff with some small explanatory labels.

Only reason to go there is for a good laugh. None of the stuff they show is actually old and good chunk of the armour and weaponry they show is just made up and completely ahistorical. Look at these helmets: no one ever wore something like this

(Translated by Google) A little out of the way Located in the grounds of Prague Castle down Golden lane street on the left we arrive on a large terrace overlooking the city. And on the left a round tower often forgotten. At the entrance we are greeted by a skeleton and a detention cage. Then a room with torture instruments of the time. In the basement another room with oubliettes (which are used to make a wish according to the number of visible coins). It does not take much time it is open with the ticket of the visit and it deserves a detour. Be careful, the stairs leading to the downstairs room do not allow you to cross each other. (Original) Un peu à l'écart Situé dans l'enceinte du château de Prague en descendant la rue Golden lane sur la gauche on arrive sur une grande terrasse dominant la ville. Et la sur la gauche une tour ronde souvent oubliée. A l'entrée on est accueilli par un squelette et une cage de détention. Puis une salle avec instruments de torture de l'époque. Au sous sol une autre salle avec les oubliettes (qui servent à faire un vœux d'après le nombre de pièces de monnaies visibles). Ça ne prend pas beaucoup de temps c'est ouvert avec le billet de la visite et ça mérite une détour. Attention l'escalier menant dans la salle du bas ne permet pas de se croiser.

I had much fun on the rack

Czech Attractions-Golden Alley White Tower Defense Corridor Prague Castle Package Last Attraction Armor and weapons used in the Middle Ages are preserved here Kind of like an armory There are many weapons in different shapes It feels like a weapon that only appears in online games

Armory part was interesting with a lot of different armors and weapons. However, the other and goes to the torture room which is just a one little room with few things. Definitely not worth the waiting time.

(Translated by Google) Exhibition of armor, weapons and instruments not very recommendable ... nice but not essential. (Original) Exposition d'armures, d'armes et d'instruments peu recommandables... sympa mais pas incontournable.

(Translated by Google) A very long corridor / hall, with lots of armor, weapons and other medieval armaments and defense. (Original) Ένας πολύ μακρύς διάδρομος/αίθουσα, με πάρα πολλές πανοπλίες, όπλα κι άλλα μεσαιωνικά εξαρτήματα οπλισμού κι άμυνας.

(Translated by Google) The torture devices are an intriguing but also formidable curiosity. They show that a person does not always sound proud. (Original) Intrygującą ale i budzącą grozę ciekawostką są tu narzędzia tortur. Pokazują, że człowiek nie zawsze brzmi dumnie.

The armor exhibit is in the top of the castle wall walk. Where the guards would watch or defend the castle. That historical part was interesting. The other part, the armor was not so much. It was comprised completely of modern reproductions of armors, and they were wrong. The shaping and proportion and fabrication was all inept. If you know nothing about armour then it would be fine, but if you have knowledge of the historical pieces then you will be sorely disappointed.

Cruelty at its best .. a sad place

Small and don't have any plaques or anything else to tell you what is going on, but some pretty gnarly looking stuff. Also a very small room, so what you see in the photos is what you get.

Great history of armors, helmets, weapons and the way of living from around years 800 to 1800. If you like medieval stuff, this is a place to visit!

Since you are already up at the castle take a walk through this area to see all kinds of armor on the second floor (you wont find it on the main floor).

I gave it 5 stars just for the sake of it being free. It was probably my favorite part of the whole Prague castle, but it was very hard to move around. The stairs are steep, the corridors are narrow and I can’t even imagine how bad it gets in the season. I loved the weaponry collection, the torture chamber and the armor. My only wish is that I could learn more about the history of individual pieces, or at least their purpose.

Super collection of armories. Loved it.

Lots of torture equipments , and the hallways full of armours and weapons Its access point is just in front of the access gates to the golden lane

(Translated by Google) Interesting place (Original) Zajímavé místo

(Translated by Google) Lots of torture equipment that often appeared in the cartoon Berserk. I feel pain just by looking at it. (Original) 漫画ベルセルクでよく登場していた拷問器具がたくさん。 見るだけで苦痛を感じる。

You can see beautiful weapons in the past.

The actual torture chamber, I would give 2 stars, BUT the accompanying armor and weapon exhibition was worth it.

(Translated by Google) Interesting use of the corridor for displaying old weapons and various armor. While admiring the precision of making these objects, one should not forget about their creators - blacksmiths, who were not only excellent craftsmen, but also artists. (Original) Ciekawe wykorzystanie korytarza na wyeksponowanie dawnego uzbrojenia oraz różnorodnych zbroji. Podziwiając precyzję wykonania tych przedmiotów nie należy zapominać o ich twórcach - kowalach, którzy byli nie tylko znakomitymi rzemieślnikami, ale i artystami.

(Translated by Google) A great exhibition, a must see during the castle tour. (Original) Super wystawa, obowiązkowy punkt do zobaczenia w trakcie zwiedzania zamku.

(Translated by Google) Every single fan of weapons and armor should necessarily visit this huge exhibition with specimens kept in perfect condition. To complete the whole there is also a room full of instruments of torture and a shooting post with the crossbow, in which you can shoot 3 darts for only 50 crowns / 2 euro. (Original) Ogni singolo appassionato di armi e armature dovrebbe necessariamente visitare questa enorme esposizione con esemplari tenuti in perfette condizioni. A completare il tutto sono presenti anche una camera piena di strumenti di tortura e una postazione di tiro con la balestra, in cui si possono tirare 3 dardi per soli 50 corone/2 euro.

(Translated by Google) The old European touristic places are full of torture rooms. The display of weapons and armor instead deserves because it is the exaltation of the skill of the Bohemian blacksmiths. From the reproductions of the Greek and Roman armor, to the complete medieval armor and related weapons of all shapes (Original) Di sale della tortura ne sono pieni i posti turistici della vecchia Europa. L'esposizione di armi ed armature invece merita perché è l'esaltazione della bravura dei fabbri boemi. Dalle riproduzioni delle armature greche e romane, fino alle complete armature medievali e relative armi di tutte le fogge

(Translated by Google) For 50 CZK you can shoot from a crossbow. (Original) За 50 чешских крон можно пострелять из арбалета.

(Translated by Google) The best collection of armors and helmets I've seen in my life, excellent place. The street of gold very beautiful. The excellent torture dungeon. I felt in medieval times. (Original) La mejor colección de armaduras y cascos que he visto en mi vida, excelente lugar. La calle de oro muy bonita. El calabozo de tortura excelente. Me sentí en la época medieval.

Quite a neutral attraction: the Golden Road shows some galleries, but lacking all information about tje displayed items. What is otherwise found is plenty of small shops. A bummer for a paying attraction.

seen an arrow shooting dagger, besides that very underwhelming

Very crowded and disorganized. There is no clear entrance or exit. Be careful on the stairs as people were slipping and knocking others over.

Awful . Long queue , nothing to see . Hot in there , people blocking room . Terrible - not worth paying to go in or queueing for or even wasting your eyesight looking at

Over crowded (summer time). Nice collection of Shields, Armors, Knifes, etc.. All behind glass, which weren't that clean.

It's a lot bigger than it looks from the outside. A bit tight though due to the nature if the original building.

Don't go, it's mostly recreations or total fakes. It's a tourist trap.

This is where the tools of the trade are presented in a museum more that the actual torture chamber site. The tools there are terrifying though.

(Translated by Google) Is well worth a visit! Is macabre (Original) Er vel vert å få med seg ! Er makabert

(Translated by Google) Well-preserved weapons and armor. Entry is free (entry is required for the golden alley). I also found the embrasures very interesting, which are still preserved here. (Original) Gut erhaltene Waffen und Rüstungen. Eintritt ist kostenfrei (für das goldene Gässchen wird Eintritt benötigt). Sehr interessant fand ich auch die Schießscharten die hier noch erhalten sind.

(Translated by Google) I recommend, in Poland, not many of such exhibits have been preserved as here. (Original) Polecam, w Polsce nie wiele uchowało się takich podobnych atrakcji z eksponatów co tutaj.

In the Prague Castle complex, walk up above the shops on Golden Lane for a display of medieval armor and weapons

(Translated by Google) For lovers of medieval weapons (Original) Для любителей средневекового оружия

(Translated by Google) An interesting place, even despite the fact that many exhibits are remake. Also disadvantages include the lack of structure. (Original) Интересное место,даже не смотря на то ,что многи экспонаты новодел. Также к минусам можно отнести отсутствие структуры.

(Translated by Google) Small and with few things to see (Original) Pequena e com poucas coisas para se ver

(Translated by Google) The dark part of the majestic and beautiful Prague Castle. Weapons and torture equipment are on display. It makes me sad when I think of someone who has been hurt by torture. I chilled my liver by looking at a torture device that was designed to be as painful as possible, even though I would die. (Original) 荘厳で美しいプラハ城の闇の部分。武器や拷問器具などが展示されています。拷問で傷つき亡くなっていった人を思うと悲しくなります。死ぬとは言っても簡単には死ねないような、できるだけ痛みを与えられるような作りになっている拷問器具を見て肝を冷やしました。

(Translated by Google) Nice exhibition with a very explicit torture chamber. Far too many people in narrow corridors. (Original) Expo sympa avec une chambre de la torture très explicite. Beaucoup trop de monde dans des couloirs étroits.

(Translated by Google) A torture chamber is a room where torture is inflicted. [3] [4] The medieval torture chamber was windowless and often built underground, lit by candles and was specifically designed to induce "horror, terror and despair" to anyone except those who possessed a strong mind and 'steel". [5] Historically, the torture chambers were located in the royal palaces, in the castles of the nobility and even in the buildings belonging to the church. They had a secret trap door that could be activated to throw victims into dark basements where they stayed and eventually died. The skeletal remains of the missing people were scattered on the floor of the hidden dungeons. Other times the ditches under the hatch included water wells where the victim was thrown to drown after a long torture session in the room above. [6] In Peru, the Inquisition's torture chambers were specially built with thick walls so that the screams of the victims could not penetrate them and no sound could be heard from outside. Other more sophisticated designs have used the principles of acoustics to muffle the screams of tortured walls and including walls that had recessed and protruded in such a way as to reflect the screams of the victims so that the sounds were not carried outside. The mere presence of the torture chamber was used as a form of intimidation and coercion. The victims were first shown in the room and if they had confessed they would not have been tortured inside. At other times the torture chamber was used as the final destination in a series of prison cells in which the victims would be gradually moved from one type of cell to another, in progressively worse conditions of incarceration, and if they had not withdrawn in the phases precedents would finally reach the torture chamber. The final stage of actually going to the same torture chamber, just before the torture began, was euphemistically called "Question". [1] Throughout history, torture chambers have been used in many ways since Roman times. The use of the torture chamber during the Middle Ages was frequent. Religious, social and political persecutions led to the widespread use of torture during that period. The torture chambers were also used during the Spanish Inquisition and at the Tower of London. [7] [8] [9] Another example of a torture chamber, not known by many, is "The Tower of Thieves" in the French region of Alsace. Once a tower used for torture, it is now a small museum displaying tools used on prisoners to induce them to confess to crimes. [10] In Venice, the Doge's Palace had its own torture chamber, which was considered of such importance that the renovations began in 1507 so that the walls of the chamber could be kept strong and safe: "manage the enormous importance of the chamber's camerots of torment that they are strong and secure ". [11] (Original) Una camera di tortura è una stanza in cui viene inflitta la tortura. [3] [4] La camera di tortura medievale era senza finestre e spesso costruita sottoterra, era illuminata da alcune candele ed era specificamente progettata per indurre "orrore, terrore e disperazione" a chiunque tranne quelli che possedevano una mente forte e "nervi d'acciaio". [5] Storicamente, le camere di tortura erano situate nei palazzi reali, nei castelli della nobiltà e persino negli edifici appartenenti alla chiesa. Presentavano una botola segreta che poteva essere attivata per gettare le vittime in sotterranei bui dove erano rimasti e alla fine sono morti. I resti scheletrici delle persone scomparse erano sparsi sul pavimento delle segrete nascoste. Altre volte i sotterranei sotto le botola includevano pozzi d'acqua dove la vittima veniva gettata per annegare dopo una lunga sessione di tortura nella camera sopra. [6] In Perù, le camere di tortura dell'Inquisizione sono state appositamente costruite con muri spessi in modo che le urla delle vittime non potessero penetrarle e nessun suono potesse essere udito dall'esterno. Altri progetti più sofisticati hanno utilizzato i principi dell'acustica per attutire le urla dei muri torturati e inclusi i muri che si erano incassati e sporgevano in modo tale da riflettere le urla delle vittime in modo che i suoni non venissero trasportati all'esterno. La semplice presenza della camera delle torture era usata come una forma di intimidazione e coercizione. Le vittime furono mostrate per la prima volta nella camera e se avessero confessato non sarebbero state torturate al suo interno. Altre volte la camera di tortura veniva utilizzata come destinazione finale in una serie di celle di prigione in cui le vittime sarebbero state spostate gradualmente da un tipo di cella a un altro, in condizioni di incarcerazione progressivamente peggioranti, e se non si fossero ritirate nelle fasi precedenti raggiungerebbe finalmente la camera delle torture. La fase finale di andare effettivamente nella stessa camera di tortura, appena prima dell'inizio della tortura, fu eufemisticamente chiamata "Domanda". [1] Nel corso della storia le camere di tortura sono state utilizzate in molti modi a partire dall'epoca romana. L'uso della camera di tortura durante il Medioevo era frequente. Le persecuzioni religiose, sociali e politiche hanno portato all'uso diffuso della tortura durante quel periodo. Le camere di tortura furono usate anche durante l'Inquisizione spagnola e presso la Torre di Londra. [7] [8] [9] Un altro esempio di camera di tortura, non conosciuta da molti, è "La Torre dei Ladri" nella regione francese dell'Alsazia. Un tempo una torre usata per la tortura, ora è un piccolo museo che espone strumenti usati sui prigionieri per indurli a confessare i crimini. [10] A Venezia, il Palazzo Ducale aveva una propria camera di tortura, che era considerata di tale importanza che i lavori di ristrutturazione iniziarono nel 1507 in modo che le pareti della camera potessero essere mantenute forti e sicure: "gestire la grandissima importanza dei cameroti della Camera del tormento che siano forti e securi ". [11]

(Translated by Google) Nice collection of armor and weapons, some instruments of torture. Included in the ticket for the castle. (Original) Belle collection d'armures et d'armes, quelques instruments de torture. Compris dans le billet pour le château.

Really rich exposition, worth checking out.

(Translated by Google) A lot of armor and weapons from different eras. Atmospheric location. (Original) Много доспехов и оружия из разных эпох. Атмосферное место.

(Translated by Google) Very horny weapons collection. (Original) Sehr geile waffensammlung.

(Translated by Google) The space is very small, a few well-preserved props that you can marvel at. It can only be guessed how they were used. Chillingly, one can imagine for a moment how the tortured must have suffered .... (Original) Der Raum ist sehr klein, ein paar gut erhaltene Requisiten die man bestaunen kann. Es lässt sich nur erahnen wie sie zum Einsatz kamen. Schaurigerweise kann man sich für einen Moment vorstellen wie der gefolterte gelitten haben muss....

(Translated by Google) Surprising and interesting place. Really illustrates the life of the medieval knights and warriors and what he would expect of the poor prisoners. (Original) מקום מפתיע ומעניין .שווה להיכנס. ממחיש בצורה ריאלית את חיי האבירים והלוחמים בימי הביניים ואת מה שהיה מצפה לשבויים המסכנים.

(Translated by Google) When you visit the torture museum, you will feel that you are in the Middle Ages. You can see tools of various sizes, such as machines designed. You understand how creative human intelligence is, even if it is used for torture. The fact that there is a label with information about what the instrument is working with is a plus. You will be thankful that you have not lived in that dark period of humanity as you walk through the wooden, gloomy corridors. (Original) İşkence müzesini gezerken orta çağda olduğunuzu hissedeceksiniz. Çeşitli boylarda, makine gibi tasarlanmış aletleri görebilirsiniz. İnsan zekasının istediğinde, işkence için kullanılsa bile ne denli yaratıcı olduğunu anlıyorsunuz. Aletlerin yanında ne işlev gördüğüne dair bilgilerin yer aldığı etiketlerin olması artı bir özellik. Ahşap, kasvetli koridorlarda yürürken insanlığın geçirmiş olduğu o karanlık dönemde yaşamamış olduğunuza şükredeceksiniz.

(Translated by Google) With all my love for the question, this is a rather haphazard collection that does not shun copies and obvious remakes, with crappy and selective tickets, but there are many interesting specimens that clearly existed during the time of Czech history rich in armed conflicts. Watch is worth it. (Original) При всей моей любви к вопросу, это достаточно бессистемное собрание не гнушающееся копиями и явными новоделами, с дрянным и выборочным тикетажем но есть немало интересных экземпляров явно имевших бытование во времена богатой на вооруженные конфликты чешской истории. Смотреть стоит.
