Holbæk Barracks, Military barracks in Holbæk Municipality, Denmark.
Holbæk Barracks is a military complex comprising multiple historic buildings in Denmark. The grounds feature an equestrian building and a drill hall, among other structures that are now protected monuments.
The complex was built in 1913 as part of Zealand's defense system, housing infantry and artillery units. It was decommissioned in 1980 and has since been repurposed.
The site has transformed into a mixed-use community where residents and workers share the former military grounds. The buildings carry memories of their past while serving contemporary needs for housing and offices.
Several buildings on the grounds are open to the public as residences, offices, and community spaces. Visitors should note that access varies by area, so checking ahead about which sections are accessible is wise.
The grounds were designed by architects Olaf Petri and Egil Fischer, who blended military requirements with early 20th century Danish architectural styles. This design approach remains visible in the preserved structures today.
