 military, place with historical importance, barracks, 1860s construction

Constructed in 1866 as bombproof (casemated) barracks. The casemates on the lower tier never had their guns installed; these were later used as storage areas, kitchens, and mess halls. The magazine located at the northwest end of the building was used to store submarine mines.
