Traces of an ancient fort can still be seen at Bürgel Manor House.
Auxiliary fort: Fort dating from the later imperial period at the site of Bürgel Manor House
The present-day floor plan of Bürgel Manor House is largely based on the layout of the original Roman camp. Remains of the ancient walls are visible in the brick walls of the manor house, in several places up to a height of 4m. Roman remains have also survived underground, including a bath complex. Two exhibition areas and an educational garden invite you to explore the history of this unique site.
Access: public and other
Note:
The archaeological remains that make up the Lower Germanic Limes (NGL) UNESCO World Heritage Site are all very well preserved. Most of these structures are buried underground and well protected. Some are visible above ground. So far, there is very little on-site information explaining the history and significance of these finds. We are currently working on a comprehensive package of information and presentation resources to promote public understanding of these sites.
