[6] The land on which the barracks area was built was previously under Väsby kungsgård, where Gustav Vasa lived during his visits to Sala Silver Mine.

After the corps was disbanded on 31 December 1927, it remained empty until 1 October 1930, when a hospital was relocated to the area.

In front of the barracks, where the corps had their parade-ground and a shooting range, a park and a sports ground were created.

The lesser coat of arms that adorned the barracks' tympanum has also been preserved at Väsby kungsgård, however, it is smashed.
