Bourgmeisterin Episode #49: the Roman villa of Giewel

from Bourgmeisterin · host Bourgmeisterin

📍Think Luxembourg is just banks and EU suits? Think again.Hidden among its sleepy hills and polite cows is Giewel, where a priest with a shovel and zero chill unearthed an entire Roman villa in 1964. Meet Georges Kayser: part-time chaplain, full-time history junkie. While your grandpa collected stamps, Georges was digging up saunas, wine jars, and a mini Roman fortress.Turns out, Luxembourg is basically the Netflix of ancient archaeology – Celtic mounds, Roman villas, and more secrets than a Vatican archive (what's up new Pope reference!😁).So yeah, next time someone says "there's nothing in Luxembourg," just raise an eyebrow… and mention Georges.Find out more at www.bourgmeisterin.com!
