Castra of Schlögen, Roman military fort in Haibach ob der Donau, Austria.

The rectangular fortification stands on a strategic location near the Danube River, featuring preserved foundation walls and remnants of military structures.

The fort was constructed during the first century AD as part of the Danubian Limes defense system, serving as a base for auxiliary troops until the fifth century.

Archaeological excavations at the site have revealed numerous artifacts including coins, ceramics, and tiles that demonstrate daily military life during Roman occupation.

The ancient site is accessible through guided tours, with preserved foundations and informational panels explaining the layout of the former military installation.

The fort's position at the beginning of the Schlögener Schlinge provided soldiers with a commanding view over a dangerous narrow section of the Danube River.
