Kleinkastell Stopfenreuth, Roman military fortification in Engelhartstetten, Austria.
The Kleinkastell Stopfenreuth contains stone walls measuring 18.80 meters on the southern side and 15.90 meters on the northeastern side, reaching 1.4 meters in height.
Built in the first century CE, this frontier fort served as a strategic control point along the Amber Road, monitoring river crossings and trade movements.
Archaeological excavations in 1896 revealed numerous artifacts, including tiles marked by the Legio XV Apollinaris, confirming the military presence at this location.
Located north of Bad Deutsch-Altenburg in the Stopfenreuther Au nature reserve, visitors can examine the remaining foundation walls of this ancient Roman structure.
The fort's position relative to the Danube remains uncertain due to multiple changes in the river's course over two millennia.
