Magnificent renovated castle, with its dovecote, and its wedding hall surrounded by a 2km garden planted with trees over a hundred years old with a small play area for children, educational vegetable garden. Parkings. Exhibition room. Every 1st Sunday of the month (except August). come and visit the exhibition of tools from other times. To do whether you are passing through or living in Esynes. I take a book and enjoy the peace and nature close to home.

Place is really nice very spacious room which really highlights the works and paintings. The park is beautiful with its majestic trees. The staff was really professional and pleasant. We came to see the exhibition of drawings and paintings made by children from different schools in the town of Eysines. A super nice visit my grandson was delighted that we came to see his magnificent drawing

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.
