Birago-Kaserne, Military barracks in Melk, Austria
The Birago-Kaserne features a V-shaped building complex with pavilion system and a central officer residence building beneath a hipped roof.
The barracks, constructed between 1912 and 1913, housed up to 6,000 soldiers during World War I who received military engineering training.
The barracks include a memorial site within a former crematorium building, commemorating the victims of the Melk concentration camp from 1944 to 1945.
Located at Prinzlstrasse 22, the barracks contain specialized training areas including a water exercise facility along the Danube River for military operations.
The facility transformed into an international operations center for the Austrian Armed Forces in 2008, coordinating missions such as EUFOR in Chad.
