The Adam Spach Rock House Site is a historic archaeological site in Davidson County, North Carolina. Located near the community of Friedberg, it consists of the ruins of a stone house built in 1774 by Adam Spach, founder of the Friedberg Moravian Church. Spach, who came to the area in 1754, supposedly built the house as a fortified defense against attacks from local Native Americans, setting it on top of a spring to provide a regular water source.[2]
The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]
