Private castle with most parts private. Still pretty.

Castle not open to the public, but the car museum is definitely worth stopping your journey to go see. Petrolheads who have not been yet need to visit, everyone will learn things they didn't know before - the size of some of these beasties has to be experienced live. You will see that electric cars/carriages are not a recent invention, the steam cars that were created after the fuel shortages of WW1, the origins of Audi, and some the model collection - including the aircraft that adorn the ceiling in the museum are worth an exhibition on their own.

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.
