Halchiu barracks

I need some information about Halchiu barracks. before and after 1918. was this barracks use as a POW during WWII? how about after WWII.any images? thanks!

UP?

The scan of the postcard below (from my collection) shows the barracks at Halchiu.




The postcard is Number 206 from a series published by Heinr. Gust of Kronstadt (now Brasov). It is undated and not posted but it has the look of a late 1920's or early 1930's card to me.

What is your interest in these barracks? Are they still in existence?

thanks for your post.i already had this post card in original.yes tha barracks still exist bur they are in a very poor condition. i whant to write an article for a local paper and i need some informations about romanian army period of this barracks.
I know that after the WWI there was a cavalery regiment, during WW II a transmision regiment and posible a POW/jail for comunist partizans, and afte WWII was used by Vanatori de Munte. after 1989 it was abandoned, a german lady buy the bilding intended to transorm them into a place for old people but this remain only an intention. any other infos are welcomed.

Is it possible you may be able to provide me with an image/photo of the barracks as they are now, please?

I like to try and contrast the old postcards with a modern day image if at all possible. A view of Romania "then & now" as it were.
