Erzherzog-Carl-Kaserne, Military barracks in Donaustadt, Vienna, Austria

The Erzherzog-Carl-Kaserne complex features military architecture from the early 20th century with four distinct building blocks and interconnected pathways.

Built between 1910 and 1911 as a replacement for the Alser Kaserne, the structure received its name in 1912 to honor Archduke Charles of Austria-Teschen.

The barracks transformed from a military facility to a refugee shelter in 1956, housing Hungarian citizens during their country's uprising against Soviet control.

The former military complex has been converted into residential spaces, with 273 subsidized rental apartments now occupying the renovated grounds.

During World War II, the facility served as a training center for 1,200 Viennese students who became Luftwaffe auxiliary personnel.
