Zon's fortifications, which enclose both the town and the castle, were laid out as a trapezoidal rectangle (side lengths of approx. 310 x 260 m -7.1 ha). The Rhine or St. Petersturm and the Krötschenturm on the north side as well as the mill tower and the castle tower with icebreaker on the south side form the four corners of this city complex as defensive and watchtowers.
