Military barracks

The military facility features a central building with symmetrical wings constructed using traditional Swiss architectural elements and regional building materials.

The barracks, completed in 1898, marked a shift from housing soldiers in private residences to establishing a dedicated military training and accommodation center.

The structure earned recognition as a class B Swiss cultural property, reflecting its importance in the regional military heritage of Aargau canton.

Located at Zurzacherstrasse 11.2, the barracks maintains its function as a military facility while allowing scheduled visits for architectural documentation.

The building stands at the convergence point of three rivers - the Aare, Reuss, and Limmat - making it a strategic military position in northern Switzerland.
