Villa Urbana in Longuich
The Villa Urbana in Longuich is a Roman villa urbana , which was built on the site of an older villa rustica . Parts of the villa were excavated and reconstructed in Longuich / Mosel on the " Roman Wine Route " .
The villa was built in the 2nd century AD and was 110 by 28 meters in size. Due to its size and equipment, it is assumed that it served as the retirement home of a senior official from the nearby Augusta Treverorum ( Trier ).
Remains of the villa's wall were found in 1984 during land consolidation work. They were excavated, conserved and the buildings were partially reconstructed. You can visit a part of the former side wing with a bathing facility consisting of a caldarium (hot bath), tepidarium (warm bath), sudatorium (sweat bath), frigidarium (cold bath) and praefurnium (furnace room).
In addition to the villa, the remains of other buildings were found during the excavations, which were mainly used for agricultural purposes. A stone sarcophagus with the skeleton of a teenage girl was also found.
