Great place for a walk and taking some pictures. It’s also at the top of the hill so it’s a good workout. A few nice historic building nearby as well.

Gorgeous church from the outside. Absolutely perfect from every angle. There's not much to see inside - It feels more like a community center than a historic special space. It is located on a small hill between the houses, near also a children's playground. I highly recommend nearby the restaurant Meatballs for the people it's about 5 minutes walk from the church - you can taste meatballs of all kinds of meat here

Sofia kyrka looks like a slott, the special arrangement is the chairs, arranged the same shape along with the kyrka.

Disappointing and unpleasant... Feels more like a pocket shop than a church and they won't let you use the bathroom either.

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.
