Castra of Klosterneuburg

The Castra of Klosterneuburg consists of stone walls and defensive structures positioned along the Danube River, forming part of the Roman frontier system.

The fortification operated from the 1st to 5th centuries CE as a crucial component of the Pannonian Limes, protecting Roman territories against northern tribes.

Archaeological excavations at the site have revealed numerous Roman artifacts, including pottery, weapons, and daily life objects from the military settlement.

The remains of the fortress are located near the Klosterneuburg Monastery, with information panels explaining the military architecture and defense systems.

The fortress maintained direct visual contact with other Roman watchtowers across the Danube, creating an efficient communication network for border security.
