Officer Houses, Daugavpils Fortress

Houses for officers were built in
the 1820s-1830s on both sides of
the Commandant’s house and the
fortress garden. 1. Oficieru Street
has still preserved two houses (No

commandant and committee of
the military registration office, yet
the architecture of these houses
differs from that of other buildings.
