After many years we visited the beautiful Petershagen Castle at the weekend. It's great to see what has happened here in the last few years to bring the castle back to life. We only got a first impression of the public area and it leaves us wanting more. The guest room is super rustic and fits perfectly into the authentic ambience - the vaulted seating areas in particular are a hit. The beer garden also invites you to linger on nice days. Great work has been done here. Unfortunately the season is almost over but we'll be back.

A beautiful castle under reconstruction under difficult regulations. It is an admirable work that is currently being done there. The castle offers self-service drinks and food in the beer garden. There is a rustic feel-good atmosphere both in the building and in the inner courtyard. The hosts are very friendly and care about the well-being of the guests. We keep our fingers crossed that all upcoming activities are well received will be found and the castle will be able to take new paths at some point. Thanks also for the interesting tour!

Was there on the day of the open monument and I have to say, I really liked it! The new owners' concept sounds very promising. I'm sure it's in good hands now!

Super nice place. Is still being renovated, but the gastronomy is open and the staff is super friendly. Here you can linger and let your soul dangle on a hike or bike tour to strengthen yourself. Recommended. ??

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.
