Van Heutszkazerne, Military barracks in Kampen, Netherlands.

The Van Heutszkazerne features three floors with brick walls and spans across multiple connected buildings along Oudestraat in central Kampen.

Established between 1851 and 1853, the barracks expanded from earlier townhouses to accommodate 600 soldiers and served as a training facility for infantry.

The building now houses the Kampen Library, municipal archives, and the Jan van Arkel historical association as part of its transformation into De Stadskazerne.

Recent renovations added modern amenities including an elevator while preserving original architectural elements such as exposed brick walls and structural beams.

The complex began as separate residential properties in 1810 before gradually expanding through property acquisitions to form a centralized military training facility.
