Wow! This place is amazing. Absolutely breathtaking house, beautifully furnished and managed by Fabrice and Aurélien, set in acres of woodland. This place is a real gem - ideal for relaxing and enjoying the French countryside. I am hesitant to rave too much about this place as I would love to keep it as our little secret, but that would be unfair to the owners who have dedicated so much time and effort into making the chateau such a magical place. If you are in the area or passing through Champagne, this is a must!

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.
