Zons, Medieval district in Dormagen, Germany.
Stone walls, defensive towers, and half-timbered houses from the 16th century form the architectural landscape of this Rhine riverbank settlement.
The Archbishop of Cologne established a toll castle in Zons during 1372, transforming it into a fortified settlement with town privileges by 1373.
The district preserves medieval German traditions through regular events, including tournaments and theatrical performances at the Open Air Theatre.
Visitors can access Zons through the VRR transport network, with bus connections and a ferry service crossing the Rhine to Düsseldorf-Urdenbach.
The rectangular layout of Zons features basalt stone fortifications with corner towers, including the Rhine Tower and Krötschen Tower.
