Roman Museum Schwarzenacker
Römermuseum Schwarzenacker
An open-air museum that reconstructs streets, houses, and temples on the ruins of a Roman town, offering a direct look at the daily life of the Gallo-Romans.
Schwarzenacker was a Gallo-Roman town from the 1st to the 3rd century AD. The museum has reconstructed streets, colonnaded houses, shops, and small temples on the excavated site. Indoor displays feature everyday objects and bronzes. The grounds also include the Baroque-style garden of the Ehrlich mansion. The museum is moderate in size, and a visit takes about 1.5 hours. Located on the southern outskirts of Homburg, it can be combined with the Schlossberg Caves on the same day. Opening hours are shorter in winter.
