context_page_description: The Royal Horse Guards Barracks, at 26 Frederiksholms Kanal in Copenhagen, Denmark, served as barracks for the Royal Horse Guards from 1792 until 1866. The building is located along the south side of a gated alleyway which connects Frederiksholm Canal to Vester Voldgade. Together with Civiletatens Materialgård and Fæstningens Materialgård, it forms a cluster of low, yellow-washed buildings all of which are listed, on the Zealand side of the canal, opposite the small island Slotsholmen with Christiansborg Palace. The Hay Storage Building at the end of the barracks building, facing Vester Voldgade, originally stored hay for the King's horses at the Royal Stables but later also served the Royal Horse Guards. Both the Royal Horse Guards Barracks and the Hay Storage building are now used by the Ministry of Education.
context_section_description: The Royal Horse Guards were disbanded in 1866 and in 1969 the 2nd Artillery Regiment took over the premises which were then known as the Artillery Barracks until 1925 when they relocated to a new installation at Artillerivej on Amager at the other side of the harbour.
  The building was then taken over by the Ministry of Education. Many other institutions or individuals rented rooms in the building during the following years.
