At the reconstructed Roman Villa Rustica Möckenlohe which lies between Eichstätt and Ingolstadt on the lower slopes of the Franconian Jura to the Danube River. The fertile land promoted a dense settlement of this area with Roman farms at the end of the 1st century AD. The museum is a reconstruction of the partially still visible antique remains. The stone house was built in the 2nd half of the 1st century by Romans and destroyed in 233 by Alemanni. Many finds indicate a previous settlement in this place. The main house was excavated from 1987 to 1989, and was rebuilt in 1992 and 1993.
