Nehren Roman Graves

The Roman graves are situated high above the municipality of Nehren between vineyards. The tombs, dating from the fourth century AD, were rebuilt on their foundations in 1974. The burial chamber of the first tomb is the only room from antiquity still existing in the Rhineland in which the original painting of the walls and the vault has been largely preserved. It is the family tomb of a landowning family whose residence is to be found in the extensive rubble field that was repeatedly excavated on the terrace directly north above the village of Nehren. The graves were extensively restored in 2002-2005. From here you have a magnificent view of the Moselle valley.
