Tips

In the 1820s-1850s four spacious
two-storey stone barracks to
house soldiers were built not far
from the fortress gates. Three of
the buildings have also a semibasement
floor that was used for
kitchen, lavatory and washing
rooms. Toilet blocks, utility rooms
and wells were located in barrack
courtyards.
In the 1920s-1940s soldiers of
Zemgale division regiments were
lodged in these buildings.
The premises were considerably
rebuilt during the Soviet times to
meet the needs of the aviation
school cadets. A third floor was built
on the Nicholas barrack (Nikolaja
Street 2), while the new Nicholas
barrack (Mihaila Street 11) was
turned into a school canteen. Today
these spacious buildings are not
used.
