Turku barracks, Military barracks complex in Kamppi, Finland.

The Turku barracks auxiliary building stands on Mannerheimintie street, featuring three floors of solid stone construction with classical architectural elements.

Built between 1830 and 1833 under Russian military direction, the barracks complex burned down during the Finnish Civil War in April 1918.

The remaining structure transformed from a military facility to Helsinki's main bus station, and now functions as the Culture Barracks with cinemas and event spaces.

The Culture Barracks contains three underground cinema auditoriums, multiple restaurants, an outdoor terrace, and spaces for cultural events and gatherings.

The auxiliary building represents the last physical remnant of the extensive military complex that once marked the beginning of the road to Turku.
