What a beautiful garden and beautiful castle, we had never been here. Nice friendly welcome and coffee with apple pie included in the entrance fee. Fantastic organization with an eye for detail. Also got an explanation about the garden and castle by a very friendly hostess. We will definitely come again next year, thank you for the wonderful day.

Great wedding location located in a beautiful garden. You can get married both inside and outside and nothing is too much for the staff!

Open to visitors twice a year. Beautiful, well-maintained garden. Many volunteers work on this all year round.

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.
