Christian VI discontinued the traditional Par force hunting in 1741 but it was later reintroduced by Frederick V who then completed Jægergården in 1747.
They constructed an equestrian house and new stables at the site to the east of Jægergården where the royal hunting lodge had formerly stood.
The Guard Hussar Regiment's old stables to the east of Kægergården were demolished in 1862 and replaced by a new educational building.
The four buildings located to the south and north of the lawn have three tall, gabled wall dormers and used to serve as residential wings.
Another one commemorates royal life guard Lars Johannes Bøtcher Larsen who was killed in battle on 29 August 1943.
Jægersborg Barracks was used as a location in the films Frøken Nitouche (1963), Hurra for de blå husarer (1970) and Olsen-banden Junior (2001).
