Cavalry Regiment Barracks

Gatchina, Krasnoarmeysky Avenue, 2

The barracks of the Cuirassier Regiment in Gatchina, located at 2 Krasnoarmeysky Prospekt, were built on the basis of the former palace stables, which were rebuilt after the arsenal, library, and residential premises were placed in their old building. The main building is distinguished by a high roof with a break over the central part, and in the early 20th century, the regimental church and a wall image on the facade were depicted on postcards. During the restoration of the complex after the Great Patriotic War, the internal church was structurally destroyed. Currently, the Central Naval Archives are located in the main building, where photography is prohibited, and document scanning is free but limited in volume.
