Seitzenbuche Roman fortlet, Roman fortlet in Schloßau, Germany

The stone fortification measures 20 by 20 meters and includes a 2.3-meter-wide gate with rectangular interior door posts and a threshold.

During the second and third centuries, this fortlet monitored a passage route connecting the Main and Neckar rivers within the Neckar-Odenwald-Limes border.

Three sandstone statues representing Victoria, Mars, and Salus deities discovered at the site are now displayed at the Roman Museum in Osterburken.

The archaeological site stands at the intersection of District Road 3919 from Hesselbach to Schloßau and the historic Siegfriedstrasse at 460.7 meters elevation.

The watchtower labeled WP 10/37 near the fortlet presents an exceptional case with both wooden tower positions and stone tower foundations.
