Romeinse villa Voerendaal-Ten Hove

The Roman villa Voerendaal-Ten Hove is a Roman villa at the monumental farm Ten Hove in the hamlet of Tenhoven west of Voerendaal in the Limburg 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 were (partly) 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 site was located almost directly 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 is in the Thermenmuseum in Heerlen.
