Show sight on map

The so-called Varnenum is the site of a Gallo-Roman temple district near Kornelimünster. It is located about 300 meters east of the St. Stephen's Church on a plateau called the "Schildchen". It is a Roman temple district, the foundation and the first period of construction of which is set up in the time around Christ's birth. The first documented excavations were carried out on the site in 1907, 1911, 1923 and 1924. Another excavation carried out in 1986 and 1987 was preceded by magnetometer prospections of the RAB and a phosphate analytical soil examination, whose drilling grid area covered approximately 250,000 m² and thus extended very wide around the old trench area.
