Castle difficult to find. You have to take a narrow path for several kilometers. It is a fortified castle with a dungeon with a dwelling next to it. Attention, this place cannot be visited, even if it is indicated in the guides. It is private property and at the end of the road, there is no place to park and as the property is closed by a gate, it is very difficult to turn around. A dirt track extending the road overlooks the property and provides a view of the castle.

Super well received by the owners who only receive groups. For our Vitalité Stretch Bien-être association, July 13 was our last stretch session and it was a success. 1 hour lesson and an improvised picnic at the foot of the castle. This evening will remain in our memories. Thanks again to the owners

Attention can not be visited because it is a private property. Nevertheless, the charming owner let us have a look around. Very beautiful property, very well maintained castle and superb garden. Absolutely calm and very relaxing. Nice discovery.

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.
