Villa rustica of Meßkirch, Roman agricultural estate near Messkirch, Germany.
The villa complex spans eight hectares with seventeen stone buildings, including a central portico villa and two bathhouses equipped with hypocaust heating systems.
Excavations between 1834 and 1836 by Joseph Anton Eitenbenz revealed the foundations of this Roman settlement, initially mistaken for a military fortress.
The temple remains contain an altar dedicated to Diana by Marcus Aurelius Honoratus Pancratius, now preserved in the Fürstenberg collections in Donaueschingen.
The archaeological site lies along Federal Highway 311, with a parking area offering access to the grounds through a 200-meter walking path.
Two Roman wells, positioned 100 meters south of the current road, provided water supply for the entire estate during its operational period.
