For a small attraction, the history of the ruins is well illustrated and interesting to read. The hill where the ruin is an easy climb. You can see the foundations and outline of the rooms but not much else. Apart from this, you can relax and picnic by the waters or walk around the hill. Drop by if you are close by but it's far and out of the way just to travel from Stockholm to see this. There is a small parking area close by and the walk to the attraction takes 5 minutes.

Loved the serenity and the tranquility that comes along with this place. Best time to visit is during Swedish summer on a bright sunny day.Just spread ur picnic blanket, utilize the designated grill spots, break the bread and spend time with ur loved ones alongside the channel...

The outpost ruins give no idea about the structure that existed, more enjoyable is the walk by and the view of Linasundet.

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.
