The Roman Villa of Bliesbrück, built at the end of the 1st until the beginning of the 2nd century AD, consists of a main building and courtyard (300 m long and about 135 m broad). In the main building exists a rectangular middle part flanked by two wings. Unfortunately the middle part with its bath is badly destroyed. The building material is limestone, the floors are built of loamy- or terrazzolike floor fill. The inner walls were plastered with lime mortar and decorated partly with geometric and partly with floral pattern. In front of the north facade of the middle part, a 40 m long and 3 m broad water basin is placed. Along the courtyard numerous annexes can be found (warehouses, stables, workshops and accomodations for employees).
