Burgus Untersaal, Roman archaeological site in Untersaal, Germany
The fortification site contains remains of a square military structure measuring 17.20 meters on each side, situated along the Danube River near Kelheim.
Built between 370 and 372 CE during the Valentinian period, this outpost served as a surveillance point within the Danau-Iller-Rhine defense system.
Excavations conducted from 1910 through the 1960s revealed architectural elements and artifacts now displayed in the Archaeological Museum of Kelheim.
The location provides views over surrounding territories and the Danube River, with access requiring coordination through local archaeological authorities.
Ancient builders incorporated reused stones and monuments from previous structures into the construction of this military fortification.
