Roskilde Barracks

The buildings are now owned by Roskilde Municipality and used as a hub for local sports clubs and other public associations and societies.

Roskilde's first spell as a garrison town began in 1777 when a squadron of the Guard Hussar Regiments was stationed in the city.

Their commanding officer from 1806 until 1828 was Major Carl Christian Leopold von Gether.

The Guard Hussar s left Roskilde in 1842 in connection with a reorganization of the army.

[2] The buildings were partly a gift from Roskilde to the Ministry of Defence and housed a battalion of 500 men.
