Antvorskov Kaserne, Military barracks in Slagelse Municipality, Denmark.
Antvorskov Kaserne is a military facility in Slagelse with multiple buildings, training areas, and administrative spaces across a large compound. The installation houses different units of the Danish armed forces and provides accommodation for soldiers from several battalions.
The facility was established in 1969 and received the Guard Hussar Regiment in 2003 when relocated from Næstved. This transfer strengthened military operations and presence in the Zealand region.
The barracks remains part of Slagelses identity through military ceremonies that reveal how Danish armed forces traditions are maintained. Local residents often witness parades and events that connect the facility to broader civic life in the town.
The compound is an active military facility with limited public access. Visitors should contact the facility in advance and obtain necessary permission before attempting to visit the grounds.
The location sits near remnants of Antvorskov Monastery from 1164, which was founded by Knights of Malta. This proximity links modern military presence with medieval monastic heritage in an unusual way.
