In awe of its magnificent baroque façade of three parts with the statue of Madonna and Child above the door, even before I went inside! This of course the very first Baroque Church built in Bordeaux, completed in 1620! What's really intriguing is how the inside completely different from the outside. It's more of a "barrel" form with exquisite frescoes ornamented ceiling and a main altar with Corinthian columns supporting a stunning circular pediment. A registered national monument and a treasure for any visitors. I absolutely admire this Baroque Church.

Easy location to park car behind the church. Amazing parish dedicated to FSSP. Mass was simple and easy to follow. Young crowd of parishioners and families. Beautiful cemetery in front.

Beautiful church and wonderful masses in latin. The abbés are most welcoming and very caring.

Sigmaringen Castle

Sigmaringen Castle was first mentioned in the year 1077 in the chronicles of Petershausen monastery. The oldest parts of the castle are concealed beneath the alterations made during the 17th and the 19th centuries. The secret of the earliest settlement built on this defendable rock will never be fully revealed: large-scale excavation work would be necessary, which the extensive land development renders impossible. Judging from the many Roman remains unearthed in the area around Sigmaringen, the 12th century keep known as the 'Roman Tower' could be traced back to a Roman predecessor.

The castle remains that have been preserved (gate, great hall and keep) date back to the Staufer period around 1200. The castle remains were integrated into subsequent buildings. The foundations of the castle buildings are to a large extent identical to the surrounding castle wall.

These remains give us a good idea of how the castle might have looked during the 12th century.
