The manor house of the villa rustica in Herschweiler-Pettersheim was excavated between 1958 and 1961.
It is a corner risalit villa with a square construction area (23 m x 23 m) and a small portico front. The Roman villa was built in the early 2nd century. Layers of fire and small finds suggest that the villa was destroyed as early as the late 3rd century and was quickly abandoned by its residents.
