Østerfælled Barracks

Østerfælled Barracks were designed by Eugen Jørgensen and built between 1897 and 1898 for the Guard Hussars, the light cavalry regiment of the Royal Danish Army.

After the end of the Second World War, the Air Force Regiment and 10th Artillery Department, until then based at Artillerivej Barracks, took over the premises in November 1945.

A local plan for redevelopment of the grounds was drafted in 1992 and the area was subsequently acquired by the pension fund Pædagogernes Pensionskasse (PBU) in 1993.

[1] The symmetrical complex was laid out around a central axis extending diagonally into the main entrance on the corner of Østerbrogade and present day Gunner Nu Hansens Plads.

The buildings are designed in a Neo-Baroque style and built in red brick with white window frames and Mansard Roofs with blue-glazed tiles.
