The remains of an ancient Roman manor house and related buildings was discovered by chance in 1980. Since then, it has been cared for by the state of Rheinland-Pfalz and the city of Wachenheim.
Almost functioning as a rest stop on the Federal Highway B-271, you can halt here and tour the grounds once toiled by people of the Roman Empire.
There are placards located throughout this open-air museum but they are mostly in German.

There is a parking lot right off the B-271 so access by car is simple.
