Ramsberg Castle

Donzdorf, Germany

The Ramsberg Castle was built around 1200-1225 probably by the knight Ulrich von Plochingen and Konrad, the monk from Rechenberg. In 1327-1529 the castle was owned by the lords of Rechenberg. The Gothic chapel was built in 1560. It was initially dedicated to St. Margaret and later to St. Martin. Between 1560 and 1580 the castle was rebuilt a second time.

Interesting historical site, it is a pity that it is not open to the public

Ramsberg Castle stands on the mountain of the same name between Donzdorf, Süßen and Reichenbach on the edge of the Swabian Albtrauf. Due to intensive renovations, it is in a very good condition and can also be entered up to in front of the inner courtyard. To give a bad rating for this, just because you are not allowed to enter the "private area", I do not consider it proportionate, which is why I give a full 5/5 points for the facility and the surrounding area with a great panoramic advantage to the left of the building (photo). We have a beautiful home!

Privately owned. Inaccessible. You see nothing except the back of the building. No view, no landscape. Getting there (on foot) is not worth it.

It's not worth the walk, it might be interesting if it's open to the public, it's privately owned

Um das Jahr 2000 hat offenbar das Land und oder der Landkreis mehrere Millionen DM gezahlt, um das einsturzgefährdete Dach zu retten. Ich finde es eine absolute Sauerei, dass hierfür öffentliche Gelder aufgewendet wurden, aber die Burganlange, dann nicht zumindest teilweise der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich ist.

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.
