Kleinkastell Oberranna, Roman fortification in Engelhartszell an der Donau, Austria
The fortress stands near the Danube River, featuring three preserved towers and remnants of defensive walls reaching 1.6 meters in height.
Built during Constantine I's reign as part of the Noric Limes, the fortress controlled river traffic and protected the surrounding territory until its destruction by fire.
Archaeological excavations at Kleinkastell Oberranna revealed ceramic vessels and bricks that demonstrate Roman construction techniques and military organization in Noricum.
Visitors can access the site at Oberranna 5, where a protective structure shields the ancient walls from weather effects since 2017.
The fortress might be the ancient Stanacum mentioned in the Antonine Itinerary, based on distance calculations from other known Roman settlements.
