Luitenant-kolonel Tonnetkazerne, Military barracks in 't Harde, Netherlands.
Luitenant-kolonel Tonnetkazerne is a military installation next to the railway station in 't Harde with multiple accommodation buildings and training facilities for defense personnel. The barracks spread across a substantial area with different functional sections for military operations.
The barracks was built in the early 1950s with a steel-frame structure and originally housed tank battalions after World War II. Around 2000, the complex underwent major modernization with new structures replacing the older buildings.
The barracks bears the name of Lieutenant Colonel Chris Tonnet, an Olympic athlete and resistance fighter whose courage during the German occupation is remembered. Visitors can read the military history of the place in the buildings.
The location sits directly next to the railway station with direct access for vehicle loading and unloading. Visitors should check ahead as this is an active military facility and access may be restricted.
The facility was home to tank troops during a time of major military changes after the war. This role as a center for tank training shaped the character of the place until today.
