Description
Sigmaringen Castle German: (Schloss Sigmaringen) was the princely castle and seat of government for the Princes of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen. Situated in the Swabian Alb region of Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany, the castle dominates the skyline of the town of Sigmaringen. The castle was rebuilt following a fire in 1893 and only the towers of the earlier medieval fortress remain. Schloss Sigmaringen was a family estate of the Swabian Hohenzollern family, a branch of the Hohenzollern family from which the German Emperors and kings of Prussia came. The castle and museums may be visited throughout the year, but only on guided tours. It is still owned by the Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen family, although they no longer reside there on a permanent basis.
It was a glorious day with two, of my three cousins, who live in Germany. It was an overcast day with even light. I left them on a lower path and took a higher one. After jumping a fence, then, "scooting", you know, on your butt, to a point beyond the path... this is what I saw. "ONE of MY Favorites"
