Emperor Napoleon annexed the Netherlands in 1810. He ordered the construction of the Orange Nassau Barracks (Oranje-Nassau Kazerne). 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 has a façadethe front or principal face of a building, especially one elaborately constructed; a blind façade is a façade that is purely decorative and does not relate to the structure of the building. stretching uninterrupted for a length of 278 metres. Halfway along the façade is a large pedimenta gable supported actually or apparently on columns. with the coat of arms of the House of Orange-Nassau. Abraham van der Hart's Neoclassical building displays a sober aesthetic, it is simply and sparingly executed.
The photo shows the southern façade.
