The lime kiln near Iversheim is an impressive Roman archaeological site and ranks among the most significant of its kind north of the Alps. It originally consisted of several kilns, was rebuilt after being destroyed, and was later abandoned.

It wasn’t until 1966 that the site was rediscovered by chance. Today, you can see six excavated kilns there and gain fascinating insights into lime production in Roman times—including a reconstructed test firing in the original kiln.

The site is a partner of the sustainable travel destination Nordeifel.
