Castellum of Anhausen

The Castellum of Anhausen contains stone foundations and defensive walls that demonstrate typical Roman military construction techniques from the early centuries CE.

This fortification belonged to the Upper German-Raetian Limes network, which marked the northern frontier of the Roman Empire and controlled movement across borders.

The site represents the intersection of Roman and Germanic cultures, as evidenced by archaeological findings of both military equipment and civilian artifacts.

Visitors can access the castellum throughout the year, with information panels explaining the layout and function of different structural elements.

Archaeological excavations at the site revealed a specific architectural pattern where the main gate faced east, different from other castella in the region.
