Van Hornekazerne, Military barracks in Weert, Netherlands.
The Van Hornekazerne spans over 17 hectares along Kazernelaan, featuring multiple buildings designed for military training and administration purposes.
Captain A.G. Boost designed the complex in 1937 as part of a nationwide project to construct 16 standard infantry barracks throughout the Netherlands.
The barracks served as the Non-Commissioned Officers School from 1951, training generations of Royal Netherlands Army personnel until its closure in 2014.
The facility included medical services, accommodation buildings, sports facilities, and a gymnasium, supporting approximately 100 civilian employees during its operation.
General Dwight D. Eisenhower visited these barracks in November 1944, following their liberation from German forces during World War II.
