Lovely place, decent rooms ( no a/c unfortunately), extremely good service at all fronts ( reception, restaurants, staff in general) and location is probably one of the best in denmark with beautiful parks. Highly recommend!

The hotel is clean, surrounded by beautiful nature. Nice service, Fantastic design! I booked a room with a mix style of the original old castle building and the new material inserted that going well and interesting. I like that the bathroom is separated between the toilet and the rain-shower??✨?‍♂️? The hotel amenities were quite complete and the needs: iron + ironing board, coffee maker, dryer, but if it's better, there should have slippers for walking inside the room, then we could feel relaxation and cleanliness because the hotel has a beautiful garden area to walk around,our shoes used were accompanied by dirt.??? We didn't have the opportunity to eat the hotel's food because the hotel organized an event.Moreover, in terms of breakfast, it is considered good. Especially, the cake (in pictured) is delicious.???

We visited as a dinner company of 13 people. I had a delicious and wellcomposed three-course vegan meal (not on their homepage, but no problem if you call in advance), and the diets of the other guests were also considered very well. Beautiful area, and very friendly staff. The prices are very reasonable considering what you get.

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.
