A noble von Sinzenich family can be identified between the 13th and 15th centuries. From 1374 the lords of Gertzen were castle owners. They were enfeoffed with the castle by the duke from 1380.

Be careful if you take photos from the path and go too close to the fence to the "moat". The shore edge is brittle (Feb2021).

Between Sinzenich and Linzenich is the moated castle Burg Sinzenich, after which a family of knights was named that existed as early as the 13th century. In 1895 the castle complex burned down due to a lightning strike.
A Zülpicher manufacturer rebuilt the former southwest wing of the medieval outer bailey and part of the moat was also filled again. The ruins of the manor house stand east of the outer bailey in a pond that is now silted up. Source: eifelfuehrer.de/eifelorte-von-a-z/kreis-euskirchen/zuelpich/sinzenich.html
