Infantry barracks of Austria-Hungary in Königgrätz, Military barracks in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic

The infantry barracks stands as a substantial stone structure with symmetrical wings, large windows, and a central courtyard near the city center.

Construction of the barracks began during the Austro-Hungarian Empire period, following Emperor Josef II's reforms that transformed a former Capuchin monastery in 1787.

The building represents a transition in Czech military architecture, combining functional design with elements of late 18th-century institutional construction methods.

The barracks underwent extensive renovation and now functions as a commercial center while maintaining its protected status as a cultural monument.

The wooden roof structure of the former Riding Hall remains intact from the mid-19th century, displaying period-specific carpentry techniques.
