Raschpëtzer Qanat, Roman aqueduct in Walferdange, Luxembourg
The Raschpëtzer Qanat extends 650 meters in length and reaches depths of 37 meters through a network of underground tunnels and vertical shafts.
Built around 150 CE during the Gallo-Roman period, this water management system operated continuously for 120 years to supply water to a Roman villa.
The qanat system demonstrates the engineering methods Romans implemented to transport water across territories north of the Alps through underground channels.
Thirteen of the estimated twenty vertical wells have been discovered through systematic excavations, with 330 meters of tunnel currently accessible for research.
The structure maintains an active water flow of 180 cubic meters per day, equivalent to 2.08 liters per second, through sections of its original channels.
