Sigmaringen Castle

Sigmaringen Castle (Schloss Sigmaringen) is the historic princely residence of the Hohenzollern‑Sigmaringen family, sited on a long white Jura chalk spur above the Danube in the town of Sigmaringen, Baden‑Württemberg. The present complex preserves medieval towers amid extensive 16th–19th century residential wings and museum rooms; it was rebuilt after an 1893 fire and remains owned by the Hohenzollern‑Sigmaringen family and open to the public by guided tour.

As it stood in 1900

The shape it held in its prime.

Perched on a long white Jura chalk spur above the Danube, the castle is a compact mass of pale limestone buildings with steep red‑tiled roofs. A tall, pointed central keep rises above linked wings, while two round towers flank the main entrance; a stone arch bridge/connector links eastern ranges. Facades show regular rows of rectangular windows and vertical masonry; the whole complex sits directly above sheer limestone cliffs, complete and roofed in the early 20th‑century reconstructed form.
