Villa rustica of Holheim

The excavated foundations reveal a rectangular main building with an open courtyard and side rooms arranged at right angles.

Archaeological excavations conducted between 1975 and 1981 uncovered the main house and five additional structures, including a bath complex.

The villa contains evidence of Roman agricultural practices and daily life, with findings including a notable statuette of a satyr.

Artifacts discovered at the villa site are displayed at the Nördlingen City Museum, allowing visitors to examine the archaeological discoveries.

The estate stands near the Ofnet caves, which were inhabited during the Middle Paleolithic period, creating a timeline of human settlement.
