Roman villa Plasmolen

The Roman villa extends 84 meters in width, featuring a central reception hall and a long gallery overlooking the surrounding landscape of Sint-Jansberg hill.

Archaeological investigations in the 1930s revealed the foundations of this substantial Roman residence through test trenches that established its original layout and dimensions.

The villa contained elements of Roman luxury living, including underfloor heating systems, a bath house, decorated walls, mosaic floors, and a structured garden design.

The site, managed by Natuurmonumenten, has been covered with protective layers of soil and wire netting to prevent damage from unauthorized metal detecting activities.

The contours of the villa have been marked out in three dimensions to demonstrate its original scale, ranking among the ten largest Roman villas in Northwest Europe.
