Julianakazerne, Military barracks and municipal monument in The Hague, Netherlands.
Julianakazerne is a military barracks and protected monument in The Hague, featuring corner bastions with small windows and surrounded by a defensive moat. The complex follows Stuttgart School design principles with a strict, functional appearance.
The complex was built during World War II as a police barracks under German occupation. After the war, it became headquarters of the Royal Netherlands Army from 1948 until 2010.
The name honors Queen Juliana, reflecting the Netherlands' connection to its monarchy. This choice is visible today through the formal military architecture that shapes the complex's appearance.
The site is located at Thérèse Schwartzestraat 15-21 and is easily accessible from nearby attractions. Check ahead about visiting conditions, as parts may have restrictions due to its military heritage.
The site contains a command bunker built for high-ranking officials and three additional type 625 bunkers on the adjacent estate. These underground structures are visible remnants from an intense period of military infrastructure development.
