The entire complex of the villa rustica consisted of the main building with courtyard and bathhouse, the houses of the workers and slaves and several farm buildings. The size of the entire complex cannot be determined without excavations, and hardly anything is known about the outbuildings that were uncovered in the 19th century.The main building, measuring 58 × 21 meters, faced west and offered a wide view of the Jura, Mittelland and Alps. The portico along the front, through which the rooms behind received their light, was 3.7 meters wide. The residential wing was bordered on both sides by a protruding side wing. The northern wing was a tower-like building with a basement and summer apartment on the first floor. The bathrooms were housed in the larger southern one. Remains of marble slabs and wall paintings testify to rich furnishings. The fenced-in excavation is protected from the weather by a roof. More at --> de.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%B6mervilla_Murimooshau
