Burgus Bacharnsdorf

The stone tower stands tall on the banks of the Danube River, forming part of the defensive structures along the ancient Roman frontier.

The watchtower was constructed during the Roman Empire period as a crucial monitoring post within the Noric Limes defense system along the Danube.

This protected heritage site represents the military architecture of Roman settlements and their methods of controlling trade routes in ancient Austria.

Visitors can reach the tower through the Wachau World Heritage Trail, which connects Hofarnsdorf to Rossatz over a distance of 17.7 kilometers.

The structure maintains its original foundation and demonstrates how Roman engineers utilized natural elevation points for strategic military observations.
