Prins Mauritskazerne

Prins Mauritskazerne is a former military complex in Ede-West with several interconnected buildings in different architectural styles. The site now includes residential areas, while some original structures are protected as heritage monuments and retain their historical appearance.

The complex was created in the early 1900s when several separate barracks were built to house soldiers. In the 1980s these facilities were merged into a single large military compound.

The barracks carry the name of a Dutch prince, reflecting the country's military heritage. Today you can walk through areas that show how soldiers once lived and trained on this site.

The site is now part of a larger development project that blends historical buildings with modern residential areas. You can explore the grounds without special permissions as it functions as a partly public space.

The site now hosts the World Food Center, connecting the former barracks with research projects from a nearby university. This shows how a military location transformed into a hub for food innovation and knowledge sharing.
