The Queen Carola Barracks in Grimma were built from 1895 for a Saxon hussar regiment: barrack blocks, an officers' mess, a hospital, stables and two riding halls; the complex was enlarged in 1935. After 1945 it was taken over by Soviet troops, and from 1956–1957 the garrison was extended. In February 1993 the barracks were handed over to the German authorities. The complex is protected as a monument: two barrack blocks on Lausicker Strasse were restored in 2002 and in 2013–2015 for the tax authority, and some buildings were demolished in 2010.

Казармы королевы Каролы в Гримме строили с 1895 года для саксонского гусарского полка: казарменные корпуса, офицерское собрание, лазарет, конюшни и два манежа; в 1935 году комплекс расширили. После 1945 года его заняли советские войска, с 1956–1957 годов городок достраивали. В феврале 1993 года казармы передали немецким властям. Комплекс охраняется как памятник: два казарменных корпуса на Лаузиккер-штрассе отреставрированы в 2002 и в 2013–2015 годах для налогового ведомства, часть построек снесли в 2010 году.
