Castellum of Rheinbrohl, Roman auxiliary fortress in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany
The Castellum of Rheinbrohl consists of stone fortifications positioned along the Rhine River at an elevation of 59 meters above sea level.
The fortress served as a strategic military outpost during the Roman Empire, forming an essential component of the Upper German-Raetian Limes defensive system.
Archaeological excavations at the site have revealed remnants of Roman military architecture, storage facilities, and garrison quarters from the second century.
The site features informative panels explaining the layout of the former Roman fortification and its role in monitoring movement across the Rhine River.
The Castellum marks the northern starting point of the 550-kilometer Upper Germanic-Rhaetian Limes, which defined the Roman Empire's frontier.
