The Villa Urbana in Longuich is a Roman villa urbana that was built on the site of an older villa rustica. Parts of the villa were excavated and reconstructed in Longuich/Mosel on the "Roman Wine Route".

The villa was built in the 2nd century AD and had an area of 110 by 28 meters. Due to its size and furnishings, it is assumed that it served as the retirement home of a senior official from the nearby Augusta Treverorum (Trier).

Remains of the villa's walls were found in 1984 during land consolidation work. They were excavated, preserved and the buildings partially reconstructed. You can visit part of the former side wing with bathing facilities consisting of a caldarium (hot bath), tepidarium (warm bath), sudatorium (sweat bath), frigidarium (cold bath) and praefurnium (fire room).

In addition to the villa, the excavations also uncovered the remains of other buildings that were primarily used for agricultural purposes. A stone sarcophagus containing the skeleton of a teenage girl was also discovered.
