The oldest surviving building of the Namibian capital was originally built to house the German colonial troops in the late 19th century, later going on to become a museum for Namibia's struggle for independence, as well as a historic landmark in itself.

The interior space is closed for public visits as of mid-2019; a few wartime exhibits are showcased out front.
