Merovingers in een villa

Trichtervoogdenstraat 68
Borgharen

Plan your itinerary

With the Archeo Route Limburg you will discover the stories behind Limburg's history and archaeology. The most important spots of this route are marked with a work of art in the form of a spear.

Borgharen has seen different civilizations come and go over the centuries. The Romans still ruled there in the first centuries AD, as can be seen from the Roman villa near the settlement of Maastricht; around 450 the sun rose on the Merovingians.

The Merovingian burial field still reminds you of their presence and teaches you about their burial customs: both cremation and burial, with the deceased placed on their backs in their coffins.

In 751 the era of the Merovingians also came to an end, because the Carolingians overthrew them, just as the Merovingians had done with the Romans at the time.

Location:

Enter the park at number 68 on Trichterwachtenstraat. After about 200 meters you will find the spear landmark of the Archeo Route Limburg on the left.
