The church was under restoration, so unfortunately we were not inside. But lies beautifully

A nice church in a small village.

A beautiful medieval church, whose oldest parts, choir and nave, were built in the 12th century. The tower and sacristy are built later. The church is located to the west on an elevation in the terrain of the city. The country has in recent years become known for a 2 hectare field with lupins that is worth a visit just like the church is.

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.
