Castra of Schirenhof, Ancient Roman fort in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany.
The Castra of Schirenhof stands at an elevation of 344 meters overlooking the Rems river, providing a strategic view of the surrounding territory.
The fort was constructed around 150 AD as part of the Roman frontier defenses and remained operational until the Romans withdrew from the region.
Archaeological excavations initiated in 1886 revealed stone reliefs made from Stubensandstein, demonstrating Roman military architectural methods in Germanic territories.
The remains of the fort are accessible through marked paths and offer visitors an opportunity to examine Roman defensive structures along the Raetian Limes.
The structure contains specific architectural elements that earned its recognition as a component of the UNESCO World Heritage Limes Germanicus designation in 2005.
