Lefortovskie barracks

The Lefortovskie Barracks is a rectangular stone building with distinctive architectural features from the early 1800s in Moscow's Lefortovo District. The structure displays typical elements of Russian military architecture from that period, with clear geometric lines and practical design.

Construction of the Lefortovskie Barracks began in 1830 as part of a large military building program in Imperial Russia. This period marked when Russia significantly expanded its military presence and infrastructure in Moscow.

The name Lefortovo comes from Peter Lefort, a French officer who served Peter the Great in the 1600s. This naming reflects how foreign influences shaped Moscow's military past.

The barracks are located at Krasnokazarmennaya Street 4/1 and accessible via public transport serving the Lefortovo District. Walking from the nearest metro station is the most direct way to reach the site.

The barracks are part of the larger Krasnye Kazarmy complex, a unified military site with multiple buildings from different eras. This layout shows how Russian military forces expanded and reorganized their facilities over many decades.
