The Tempelbezirk Eschweiler-Fronhoven was an ancient temple in Eschweiler (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany). It was dedicated to the Romanized versions of the Gallo/Germanic goddesses Matronae Alaferhviae and Matronae Amfrantinae.
The site was discovered in 1980. It dates from 2nd century – 4th century AD. The sanctuary consisted of an ensemble of four buildings. Two of the buildings were addressed as sacred buildings. The buildings were arranged around a central square, with a well in the middle. The findings point to several phases of construction.
