Amsterdamse Cavaleriekazerne

Built in 1864 as a neoclassical cavalry barracks, designed by the Ministry of War, the complex originally housed cavalry, horses, and equipment and was part of the defensive system around Amsterdam. The barracks were used by the Wehrmacht during the German occupation period. The Dutch army took over the barracks after the war and left permanently in 1988. The complex became a national monument in 2001.
