Mons Brisiacus, Roman military fort in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
The fort stands on the Münsterberg plateau, covering 3 hectares of land with fortified walls overlooking the Rhine Valley and surrounding territories.
During the 4th century, Emperor Valentinian I directed construction efforts to strengthen the Rhine frontier defenses from this strategic location.
The name Mons Brisiacus derives from Celtic origins, reflecting the ancient settlement patterns and linguistic heritage of the Rhine region.
The archaeological site requires special permits for research activities according to Baden-Württemberg heritage protection regulations.
The northern wall extends 200 meters and includes foundations that remain visible, marking the only access point from the northern direction.
