The "Alte Kaserne", at the entrance to the Gondo Gorge, was built around 1805 - at the same time as the Napoleon Road - and was intended to serve as troop accommodation. The canton of Valais had the building renovated in 1999-2000. An exhibition on the history of the Simplon road was set up in the central part of the building in collaboration with the Ecomuseum Simplon. Numerous pictures and maps document the construction of the Simplon roads from Roman times to the present day.
