Burg Sinzenich, Medieval castle in Zülpich, Germany

The castle structure features moats filled with water from Rotbach stream and includes thick stone walls constructed using traditional building methods.

The noble family of Sinzenich owned the castle from the 13th to 15th century, after which it passed to the Lords of Gertzen in 1374.

The castle represents the architectural traditions of North Rhine-Westphalia through its distinctive water defense system and regional construction techniques.

Visitors can find the castle at Ritterstrasse 15 in Zülpich-Sinzenich, where parts of the original fortress grounds remain accessible for viewing.

The castle suffered substantial damage during an earthquake in 1755, leading to the collapse of its manor house in 1769, which was never rebuilt.
