Villa rustica of Mehring

This villa rustica is an excavated Roman residence with two corner towers and a columned portico. The complex spreads across 48 by 29 meters (157 by 95 feet) and includes 34 rooms, among them heated living areas with mosaics and a bath section.

The residence was built in the first half of the 2nd century and underwent several expansions in later centuries. The renovations during the 3rd and 4th centuries show that the site remained important and occupied for a long time.

The colorful floor mosaics and black marble wall coverings show that wealthy Roman owners lived here. This type of decoration indicated wealth and refined taste during that period.

The site displays the main facade with corner projections, a heated living room containing mosaics, and sections of the bath complex. Visitors can explore the floor plans and remaining structures spread across the excavation area.

The site is part of a virtual Roman Road Network that connects roughly 100 Roman sites across the region. This network helps visitors understand the larger landscape of Roman settlements in the area.
