Lower Barracks, Military museum in Winchester, England
The Lower Barracks complex includes Serle's House, constructed in 1730, which now houses military exhibitions and historical collections from the Royal Hampshire Regiment.
The site transformed from a civilian residence to military use in 1796, serving as a depot during the Napoleonic Wars and accommodating up to 3,000 troops.
The Royal Hampshire Regiment Museum displays uniforms, medals, weapons, and personal items that document the military heritage of the region since the 18th century.
Visitors can explore the Grade II* listed building's collections through guided tours that detail the evolution of military training and operations in Winchester.
During World War II, the barracks housed the 60th Infantry Regiment of the 9th US Infantry Division as they prepared for the D-Day landings.
