Königsgrab von Mušov

The burial chamber measures 6 by 4 by 3 meters and contains archaeological evidence of Germanic elite social structures from the 2nd century CE.

The tomb, discovered in 1988, belonged to a high-ranking Germanic leader who maintained relations with Roman authorities during the Marcomannic Wars between 166-180 CE.

The bronze cauldron found within features cast handles depicting four Germanic male heads, representing the craftsmanship and artistic traditions of the period.

Visitors can reach the archaeological site through marked paths near the Nové Mlýny reservoirs, where information panels explain the historical context.

The burial site sits near a former Roman military complex of the Second Legion, which included a bath house and seventeen military camps.
