Sølvgade Barracks, Military barracks turned student residence in Christianshavn, Denmark.
The five-story brick and sandstone structure features two F-shaped buildings connected by a low gate wing along Sølvgade and Øster Voldgade streets.
Architect Nicolas-Henri Jardin designed the barracks in 1771, which later served as Danish State Railways headquarters from 1926 to 2013.
The sandstone portal displays Christian VII's monogram, as his father Frederik V, who commissioned the building, died before its completion.
Following extensive renovations in 2015, the complex now provides accommodation for over 400 university students in modernized living spaces.
The barracks construction faced initial opposition as it replaced St. Ann's graveyard, affecting local residents who earned income from housing soldiers.
