The baths of a Roman estate, situated at the foot of Burgberg (Römerbadweg 3), are among the oldest preserved Roman buildings in Baden-Württemberg. The architectural remains from the Roman period were discovered in 1906 whilst excavating a tree stump. Initial excavations revealed the complete layout of a Roman bath complex, which was opened to the public.
