Villa Rusticsa, Roman villa ruins in Walldorf, Germany.

Villa Rusticsa is a Roman country house in Walldorf with foundations showing a large residence and several outbuildings. The complex included a main living area, rooms for different purposes, and thick stone walls that enclosed the entire property.

The site was occupied in two building phases. The first, a timber phase, dates roughly to the first century AD; its main house of about 500 m² retained painted wall plaster and a lime-mortar floor. In the later stone phase the buildings were shifted a few degrees northward, and the older structures were deliberately dismantled rather than burned. Excavations in 1995 and 2001/2002, led by Britta Rabold, uncovered 16 buildings across about four hectares.

The ruins reflect how wealthy Romans lived in this region and designed their homes following Mediterranean styles. Visitors can still see traces of their lifestyle in how the rooms were arranged and the careful way everything was built.

The site is an archaeological area with stone foundations that can be viewed from outside. For more information about the villa, nearby local museums display artifacts and findings from the period.

Excavations in 1995 and 2001/2002 uncovered 16 buildings across roughly four hectares, directed by Britta Rabold for the state heritage office. In the floor screed of the heated northwest corner room, imprints of nailed Roman shoes survived. A small stone house built against the northwest wall is interpreted as a gatekeeper's lodge.
