Oranje-Nassau Kazerne, Military barracks in central Amsterdam, Netherlands
The Oranje-Nassau Kazerne extends 278 meters along Sarphatistraat with 50-centimeter-thick walls supported by 3300 foundation piles near the Singelgracht canal.
Napoleon ordered the construction of this military facility in 1810, initially named Quartier Saint-Charles, before the Dutch renamed it after the House of Orange-Nassau in 1814.
The central pediment displays the coat of arms of the House of Orange-Nassau, replacing the original French imperial symbols after Napoleon's withdrawal from the Netherlands.
The building now contains 190 rental apartments managed by Woonstichting Lieven de Key, with 17 commercial spaces operating on the ground floor.
The structure temporarily housed animals from the neighboring Artis Zoo in 1839 when humidity issues made it unsuitable for military residence.
