Austro-Hungarian Army barracks in Most

The Austro-Hungarian Army barracks in Most is a building complex from the early 1900s with Art Nouveau details and practical military layouts. The ensemble combines multiple connected structures that served residential, administrative, and storage functions within a single coherent site.

The barracks were built during the Austro-Hungarian period and later became a site of military resistance during the occupation era. A major event marked its importance in Czech twentieth century history.

The complex demonstrates Most's connection to the Austro-Hungarian military presence and shapes the city's appearance as a preserved monument to that era. Its Art Nouveau architecture reflects the daily military operations that visitors can trace through the surviving structures.

The site sits on Čsl. armády street in the city center and remains accessible for viewing the exterior architecture. Visitors will find exhibition areas where military artifacts and information about regional military history are displayed.

In March 1939, soldiers defended this barracks with makeshift fortifications against a vastly superior occupying force. This defensive action remains present in the city as an example of local resistance during difficult times.
