The site was acquired by master builder Frantz Philip Lange (1756-1805) in 1802. He offered to use it for the construction of new barracks for the Zealand Infantry Regiment (Sjællandske Infanteri Regiment). [1] It was inaugurated in 1803 and expanded by Andreas Hallander and Jørgen Heinrich Revert in 1807. [2] It supplemented the Old Artillery Barracks in Christianshavn. H. C. G. F. Hedemann (1792-1859), then a captain in the Jutland Court Regiment, had a residence in the complex from 1834 to 1837. [2]

The complex was decommissioned in 1914. It was listed on the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1918. [1]
