Kasarna

Kasarna

The Kasarna ("Barracks") is a historic residential block located in the Stara Sava district of the town of Jesenice, Slovenia. It currently functions as an ethnographic museum.

History

The Kasarna was built at the end of the 18th century, in Late Baroque style. It received its current name during the Napoleonic wars, when it served as a barracks for French soldiers; afterward, it reverted back to the local ironworking industry and housed workers and their families.

In 2005, the building was thoroughly renovated. Operated by the Upper Sava Museum, its ethnographic collection includes a reconstructed workers’ flat from the 1930s and 1940s, which presents the residential culture and way of life of the Jesenice working class at that time.

The Kasarna hosts museum workshops for all age groups. It also contains a small photo gallery, the historic KID archive, and the Jesenice Music School. It is located at 48 Prešeren Street.
