Zum Domstein: Kitchen of Constantine's mom


On the market square next to the fountain you will find Zum Domstein. This is a restaurant with great German food. However, when the basement was being dug, it was found to hold Roman kitchen items that were discovered to belong to the kitchen of Helena, the mother of the Emperor Constantine. They have guarded the relics in top condition behind glass. Every evening in the cellar, they serve Roman food on replicas of Roman dinnerware. The servers wear togas.
