Castra of Eulbach

Castra of Eulbach is a Roman fort with visible stone walls, building foundations, and defensive structures spread across the archaeological grounds. The remains show how the camp was organized into different functional sections for troops, storage, and command operations.

The fort was built in the first century CE and served as a strategic defensive position on the northern frontier of the Roman Empire. It was part of a larger system of border posts protecting the empire from Germanic peoples.

The site reveals details about soldiers who lived here through discovered pottery, tools, and personal items displayed nearby. These objects show how Roman troops lived and worked at this remote frontier post.

The site has informational signs explaining the different areas and how the fort functioned, making the ancient layout clear to visitors. It is best to allow enough time to read the signs and view the ground layout from various angles.

The fort was located at one of the most remote edges of Roman territory in Germania, marking how far north Roman control extended. Despite this isolated position, Rome maintained a permanent military presence here for decades.
