Great church

The church has a Romanesque ship and choir with rich cornices, not least on the sides of the choir. A later Gothic tower stands with combed gables. The church is whitewashed with white details and very ornate. Fjelde Church is in Romanesque style, the tower of which is an extension from the 16th century. The baptismal font is from approx. 1575, while the pulpit is from ca. 1610th The altarpiece of the church is a catechism mustache as it has no image but is a tablet with Bible quotes.

A beautiful red-washed village church, built around the year 1100, where the oldest parts of the ship and the choir are in Romanesque style, while the tower and porch are in Gothic style, all of monk in the monks. After belonging to the county of Christiansholm since 1839, the church passed to self-ownership on July 1, 1916.

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.
