Victoria Barracks is a British Army barracks located 0.25 miles (0.40 km) south of Windsor Castle.

History

The original barracks were built in 1853[1] and were enlarged in 1911.[2] The old barracks were completely demolished in 1988 and new barracks were built between 1989[3] and 1993.[4]

The barracks remain the place from where troops set off to change the guard at Windsor Castle.[5] The Changing the Guard at Windsor Castle takes place on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 11am.[6]

Intruder

In April 2022, an intruder who was a priest managed to spend the night at the barracks despite showing no identification or credentials, reportedly eating and drinking with senior officers, having claimed to have been a friend of the battalion's padre.[7] Thames Valley Police officers attended and removed the intruder, Father Cruz, from the barracks. No further action was taken. However, an Army spokesman said: "The Army takes this breach of security extremely seriously and it will be thoroughly investigated as a matter of priority."[8]

Units

The sole garrisoned unit, the 1st Battalion, Coldstream Guards, is a light infantry battalion operating as part of the 11th Security Force Assistance Brigade.[9]
