O Museu

The museum carries a fine collection of medieval weapons, a national and international cutlery that also includes gaucho cutting tools, and a large set of Coat of Arms in which all visitors who go to the pleasant city of Gramado in Brazil must definitely stopover and take a look.

Our visitors will also get to know the origin and the history of their families through heraldry, the art and practice of devising, blazoning, and granting armorial insignia and of tracing and recording genealogies, which the owner Gilberto Guzenski is well dedicated since 1967.

"Uma viagem dentro da viagem! Se estiver em Gramado, uma visita ao Castelo Saint George é uma experiência imperdível. A visita não se limita ao conteúdo do castelo, mas em apreciar toda a paixão e dedicação de "Sir Gilbert" ao museu. Tudo milimetricamente pensado e arduamente trabalhado com as próprias mãos. Visite e apaixone-se por esta obra!"
 
— Flavio Ferreira (Rio de Janeiro, RJ), sobre visita ao museu.
"Gilberto. Visitar seu museu foi como viajar no passado romântico da era dos grandes cavaleiros. Poder contribuir para a sua coleção com uma faca peixeira do meu nordeste foi também algo que me deixou honrado. Ainda espero a sua visita a Pernambuco para que eu possa te servir de guia aos locais que desejares. Estamos programando retornar a Gramado em 2013, espero te encontrar novamente e te levar a adaga usada pelos cangaceiros. Um grande abraço em ti e em tua espôsa. André Alvim."
 
— Carlos André de Albuquerque e Alvim (Olinda, PE), sobre visita ao museu.
