Castra of Arnsburg
Castra of Arnsburg, Roman military fort in Lich, Germany
The Castra of Arnsburg is a Roman military fort near Lich with stone walls and defensive structures that show Roman building techniques. The remains still outline the original layout of the camp today and provide insight into its strategic organization.
The fort was built in the 2nd century after Christ as part of the Roman border between the empire and Germanic lands. It was one of several fortified positions that Rome built to protect its frontier in this region.
The excavations reveal how Roman soldiers lived and worked here, with evidence of their daily routines and construction skills. Today you can still see how the fort was organized and what role it played in the lives of those stationed there.
The site is accessible year-round and allows visitors to explore the remaining walls and layouts on foot. Sturdy shoes are recommended since it is an archaeological site with uneven terrain.
The fort's elevated position gave Roman soldiers a wide view over the surrounding lands and the movements of the peoples living there. This made it an important observation point for monitoring this border region.
