Note: The Radstube no longer exists. It has closed down. The "Buchauer Wirtshaus" is now located here. Significantly better quality since then. Very friendly staff. Was well attended during lunchtime.

Sigmaringen Castle was first mentioned in 1077 in the chronicle of Petershausen Abbey. The oldest parts of the Hohenzollern castle lie hidden beneath the extensive renovations and new constructions of the 17th and 19th centuries. The castle remains that still stand today date from the Hohenstaufen era around 1200 (gatehouse, palace, and keep). Essential castle elements merged with subsequent buildings over the centuries. The origin of the castle buildings is largely identical to the outer curtain wall of the castle.
