Réimervilla Echternach

Discover the remnants of a sumptuous Roman villa nestled in the lush landscape around Echternach lake. This palatial residence was the height of luxury at the time, featuring marble-clad walls, mosaic floors, thermal baths and even underfloor heating. Travel back in time as you explore the archaeological remains of this opulent relic from the Roman Empire.

Lush gardens and grounds

Walk past the villa’s well-preserved walls and large pond to take a stroll through the verdant Roman garden complete with medicinal plants, vegetables, herbs and spices as well as a vine-covered pergola and fruit trees. Find out what crops were grown by the Celts and which new plants the Romans introduced, from dill and asparagus to figs and peaches.

A centre for visitors

Get a sense of what it was like to live in Roman times in our visitor centre, which recreates scenes from daily life and shows the inhabitants of the villa going about their day, from getting dressed and bathing through to daily meals. Track the development of the villa through time with detailed architectural models on display in the centre.
