At
this place was built a timber-turf-fort in the late 1st century AD. In the 2nd century AD it was altered in stone.From the 3rd to the 4th century AD fan towers (these stuck out of the wall and had the form of a fan) were built in the corners and horseshoe towers were built into the side walls (half-round towers which stuck out of the wall
).In the late 4th century existed only a rest fort in the northwest corner. The other place of the fort was used by the civilian population.
Different buildings are preserved. The Wiener
gate, particularly parts of the gate towers, comes from the former porta principalis
dextra (right camp gate). The foundations of the
southwest fan tower are to see within a - at this time uninhabited - building. From the southeast fan tower the foundations are to be seen through a shrubbery. The home museum is in a
horseshoe tower of the northern wall.
It has original substance up to the to gutter. The castle has still some walls of the northwest tower and the
rest fort.
Under the parish church different
camp buildings are to be seen:
A floor of the accommodations of the timber-turf-fort and stone walls of the
principia of the stone fort. It is to see that the stone fort had another outline.
The vicus (camp village) was at both sides of the street to east.
The place was left in the late 5th century and settled again at the earliest around AD 790.
