The location alone is special: Away from the village in the Altmühl valley, the gleaming white medieval church is located on a roughly rectangular embankment. Beneath it is a former Roman fort that has been extensively explored and about which you can find out a lot on Wikipedia. It is interesting that you can still see the line of sight to a (reconstructed) Roman watchtower on the Limes on the heights beyond the Altmühl: from there, the small garrison was alerted when it was necessary to move out.

The Böhming fort was a Roman fort that was built near the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Upper Germanic-Raetian Limes and is located west of the village of Böhming in the Eichstätt district of Bavaria. The fortification, which was most likely built for a 150 to 200-man border guard command (numerus), was destroyed at the latest with the fall of the Limes in 259/260 AD.
