Oranje-Nassau Kazerne

The Oranje-Nassau Kazerne is a former military barracks in the centre of Amsterdam, along the Singelgracht canal, directly south of Artis zoo. Emperor Napoleon ordered the construction of this early 19th-century neoclassical building. Not long after construction of the building was complete in 1813, the French withdrew from the Netherlands, and the building was named in honour of the House of Orange-Nassau. The building received rijksmonument status in 1970. In the 1980s, the barracks were converted to a complex of apartments and offices.
