Schloss Sinzig

Schloss Sinzig is a Neo-Gothic castle in Sinzig featuring medieval foundations and a prominent tower. The estate is surrounded by landscaped grounds designed by architect Josef August Lenné.

The castle was built between 1854 and 1858 by Gustav Otto Bunge and his wife Adele on the site of a former water castle. That earlier fortress had been destroyed by French forces during a military campaign.

The castle houses a museum displaying regional artifacts and uses its former salon for concerts and cultural events. These spaces tell the story of the local community and its connection to the estate.

The castle is open for visits on weekends, with hours varying by season. It is helpful to check the specific opening times before planning a visit.

The tower was restored in 2004 and now serves as a venue for civil ceremonies and special events. The interior paintings were created by Carl Christian Andreae from the Nazarene School and shape the appearance of the rooms today.
