Le château en bref
The Oberes Schloss (Upper Castle), also known as Singen Castle or Enzenberg Castle, stands in the centre of Singen, near the town hall, in the Landkreis of Konstanz. It was built in 1809–1810 for Franz Josef von Enzenberg, who had come into possession of the estate through marriage. It is distinguished from the Unteres Schloss (Lower Castle, or Walburgishof), a former factory building converted into a castle in 1795. The building is an almost square structure, rising over three storeys and topped by a mansard roof. Since 1951 it has housed the archaeological collections assembled from 1925 onwards by the pharmacist Albert Funk: the Hegau Archaeological Museum, located on the first floor, traces in some ten rooms the history of the peoples of the Hegau from the end of the last Ice Age, around 15,000 years ago, up to the early Middle Ages, with interactive stations. Admission to the museum is free; the premises are not yet accessible to people with reduced mobility.
