Römermuseum Bedaium

Römermuseum Bedaium displays more than 500 original Roman objects along the northern shore of Chiemsee, near where the Alz River begins. The location marks where an ancient settlement called Bedaium once served as a working community.

Bedaium grew as a vital transport hub linking the Roman cities of Salzburg and Augsburg in ancient times. As centuries passed, the settlement was eventually abandoned and its remains lay hidden until excavations began.

The collection reveals how Roman craftspeople, merchants, and service workers lived and traded in this mountain-region trading center. Their tools, goods, and everyday objects show the networks that connected this place to distant markets.

The museum sits right along the shore of the lake and is easy to reach on foot from the town center. The rooms are small and compact, so visiting during quieter times allows you to take in the details without feeling rushed.

A life-size scene depicts Roman daily life with figures positioned at their workplaces and tasks. This display helps visitors imagine the bustling activity that once filled this ancient trading post.
