Leutstetten Villa Rustica

Starnberg, Germany

Villa Rustica in Leutstetten was a roman estate built around the year 133 AD and was in use probably only 50 years. The house was probably abandoned by its inhabitants when they had to flee from the invading tribe of the Marcomanni. Most of what was left was taken away and possibly reused during the Middle ages. Today the Villa Rustica site is restored.

Interesting Roman villa ruins in a glass house with explanations. You can see the floor heating conduits under the tiles.

Incredibly well preserved foundation of an ancient Roman dwelling with additional artefacts on display

nice for children and a good educational place but not that impressive overall. But the surrounding area is pretty awesome and beautiful. also nice places to eat nearby.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
