Kastellerwachen mit römischen Gaumenfreuden

In the organizer's words:

The start of the new 2026 museum season will be magical and delicious at Haus Bürgel: the big Kastellerwachen! ✨😋

Throughout the day, Roman performers from the "I. Roemercohorte Opladen" will visit Haus Bürgel, bringing with them some traditional Roman recipes from the traditional Apicius cookbook. From starters to main courses and desserts, small tasting plates with a variety of dishes to suit the time of day can be purchased for a donation - "from eggs to apples", as the Romans used to say.

While the food is simmering and sizzling, you can learn all sorts of interesting facts and anecdotes about the eating habits of the Romans from the cooks in Roman costume.

You can also roast your own bread over the fire and enjoy fresh herbal teas, take a ride in a covered wagon with the cold-blooded horses Eberhardt and Tilda and take part in family tours (12.00, 14.00 and 16.00) or open tours of the Roman Museum (1.30, 13.30, 14.30, 15.30 and 16.30).
