Graf-Radetzky-Kaserne

The Graf-Radetzky-Kaserne is a military facility in Vienna with multiple buildings designed according to late 19th-century military architecture principles. The complex is located at Gablenzgasse in Ottakring and displays the typical layout of barracks from that era.

The barracks were built between 1894 and 1896 and replaced an earlier facility with a different name. During World War I, the site served as a military hospital.

The facility is named after Field Marshal Josef Wenzel Graf Radetzky, a significant figure in Austrian military history. The name reflects his influence on the armed forces during the 19th century.

The site is an active military facility that is generally not open to the public. Visitors should view it from outside and respect access restrictions.

During World War I, Russian soldiers received medical treatment at this facility, as documented through historical photographs. This medical role shows how the facility was used beyond its ordinary function.
