Roman villa Voerendaal-Ten Hove

The Roman villa Voerendaal-Ten Hove is a Roman villa near the monumental farmhouse Ten Hove in the hamlet of Tenhoven west of Voerendaal in the municipality of Voerendaal in the Netherlands.
The villa was
of the villa rustica type and is one of the largest of the dozens of Roman villa complexes that have been (partially) excavated on the loess grounds in South Limburg. The site is a national monument.
The Roman villa Voerendaal-Ten Hove is located in the field on the north side of the current Steinweg, close to the Ten Hove farm, a national monument from the eighteenth century.
In Roman times, this terrain was almost immediately
on the Via Belgica, the road from Tongeren (Atuatuca Tungrorum) via Maastricht (Mosa Trajectum) and Heerlen (Coriovallum) to Cologne (Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium).
The profile of this important road has been determined along the old Midweg in Voerendaal, near the business park. A cross-section of this profile can be found in the Thermenmuseum in Heerlen.
