Villa rustica

The Villa Rustica archaeological site contains the foundation walls of a Roman farmhouse with seven rooms, including four preserved living quarters and storage areas.

Excavations conducted in 1951 by Dr. Vetters revealed the structural layout of this Roman agricultural estate, which operated during the height of Roman expansion.

The archaeological site demonstrates Roman construction methods through preserved foundations, heating systems, and water infrastructure that shaped agricultural practices in Bavaria.

Visitors can reach the archaeological site by following a marked path past the train station, across sports fields, and through forested areas without paying entrance fees.

The discovery of lead piping within the ruins indicates advanced plumbing systems, suggesting this Roman villa maintained sophisticated water management capabilities.
