Small castle, can only be visited during public events, the performances are always worth a visit.

Meine Meinung (3 years ago)
The castle may have been quite nice in the 17th century, but unfortunately I misplaced my time machine. Nowadays it's just rubbish, even with all the romantic feelings, if you rate something like this with 5☆, you probably also rate an ancient plum toilet with 5☆ ?‍♂️ 3☆ is already max. If you found my recession helpful or you liked it, please give me ?

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.
