Krastata Kazarma, Military museum in Vidin, Bulgaria
The Krastata Kazarma stands as a cross-shaped building with two floors, featuring classical military architectural elements from the early nineteenth century.
Constructed in 1801 by Polish architects, this former Ottoman Empire facility housed four military units, including a Janissary division before becoming a courthouse.
The museum section now displays ethnographical exhibits that document the traditions, customs, and daily life of people from the Vidin region through centuries.
Located at coordinates 43.9904, 22.8816, the museum maintains regular visiting hours and provides guided tours in multiple languages upon request.
The building's distinctive cross-shaped design allowed for efficient separation of different military units while maintaining central control over all sections.
