Villa Rustica Leutstetten

Visit the Villa Rustica Leutstetten in Leutstetten, Starnberg, and travel almost 2000 years back to the time of the Romans! Here you can discover the excavations and artifacts of a Roman estate from the year 133 AD in a modern glass pavilion.

The foundations of the Villa Rustica were impressively recreated with stone baskets (gabions) to give you a clear picture of its former size.

A special highlight is the almost complete Roman underfloor heating (hypocaust heating), rediscovered after 1800 years. Right next to it, a cistern holds interesting finds such as a Terra Sigillata bowl, two house keys 🗝️ and a writing tablet 📜.

The even older history of the site is also exciting: vessels from the Celtic La-Tène period, which are at least 200 years older than the Roman villa, indicate an earlier Celtic settlement.
