The Grutenhäuschen is a partially reconstructed [Roman](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Roman/) [grave](https://www.worldhistory.org/burial/) [temple](https://www.worldhistory.org/temple/) located in a vineyard slope near Igel on the Moselle in southwestern Germany. This funerary monument from the 3rd century CE was restored on the remains of the original [burial](https://www.worldhistory.org/burial/) chamber in 1962 by the Rheinisches Landesmuseum Trier and reconstructed in 2001. It consists of a two-story temple-like structure with an open, accessible vaulted burial chamber.
