Römische Kalkbrennerei Iversheim, Roman lime kiln archaeological site in Bad Münstereifel, Germany.

The Iversheim Roman lime kiln complex contains six industrial furnaces built side by side under a 30-meter-long hall supported by columns.

The facility operated from 150 to 300 CE by Roman legionaries of the Legio XXX Ulpia Victrix and Legio I Minervia until sudden abandonment.

The site demonstrates Roman industrial engineering through its preserved kilns, providing evidence of ancient manufacturing techniques in Germania Inferior.

Visitors can explore three preserved kilns inside a protective structure from May to October, with guided tours available on weekends.

The furnaces feature an unusual design with firing and ventilation openings positioned two meters above the chamber floor instead of ground level.
