The best-preserved kiln can be visited free of charge from Easter 2020 in a specially constructed shelter. With a height of 4.2 metres and a capacity of 31 cubic metres, it is a particularly impressive testimony to the creative power of the Roman legionaries. Under the supervision of specialists, a total of 12 such ovens were operated here from the late 2nd century AD. Such mass production could only be surpassed by industrial lime production in the 20th century.
