We are just casual passers-by in this beautiful village. We are impressed by this beautiful building into which your ancestors put a lot of energy and creative work, so that the tower is still standing after hundreds of years. The building is cracked from top to bottom in 2 places. So it will cost a lot of money and labor to repair this. But this legacy is so unique that it has to be done. With a little imagination one can imagine the scenes that have taken place here over the centuries. What a beautiful monument in a beautiful country that is Spain.

El castillo de Mazuelo es una de las fortalezas mejor conservadas de toda la provincia. Presenta una torre del homenaje de planta cuadrada que aparece rodeada por una cerca en la que destaca una barbacana con dos cubos. De finales del siglo XIV o comienzos del XV. Perteneció, entre otras familias, a los Carrillo, Rojas y Cerezo.

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.
