Upper Castle Singen
Upper Singen Castle, also known as Singen Castle or Enzenberg Castle, is a castle in the city of Singen, in the immediate vicinity of the town hall, in the district of Konstanz in Baden-Württemberg.
The castle, a three-story, almost square building with a mansard roof, was built from 1809 to 1810 by Count Franz Josef von Enzenberg, who acquired the property through marriage.
Today, Enzenberg Castle houses the Hegau Archaeological Museum, which in 13 rooms showcases the world of people who inhabited the Hegau from the end of the last ice age, about 15,000 years ago, until the early Middle Ages. In the basement, there is a collection of fossils, minerals, and butterflies.
Singen also has a Lower Singen Castle (Walburgishof, Walpurgenhof), a former factory that was converted into a castle in 1795.
