The town of Zons owes its existence to its location on the Rhine. 650 years ago, the Archbishop of Cologne, Friedrich von Saarwerden, chose the place to build a customs station, which he then expanded into a defensive fortification with the most important feature of a medieval town - the town wall. On December 20, 1373, the Archbishop granted Zons town rights.

The former Electorate of Cologne customs fortress of Zons, founded by Archbishop Friedrich III of Saarwerden in the 14th century, is considered a unique example of a fortified medieval town in the Rhineland due to its excellent state of preservation. The mighty Rhine Tower from 1388 is particularly worth seeing. But the Judde Tower with its baroque dome and the windmill with its original wooden mill from the 17th century are also popular photo subjects, along with the Rhine pier and the city walls. True to its historical significance, the "Rhenish Rothenburg" today plays an important role in the cultural life of the Rhine district of Neuss.

Beautiful old town with city wall and old mill

This covered cross is located in front of the castle chapel.

The castle chapel has stood opposite the mill tower since 1707. The brick building is dedicated to Saint George.

Behind the tower you go straight to the quartz peak. Lindberg is a romantic little place.

The mill tower is a monument in the Liedberg district

History The seven-story tower on the eastern summit of the Liedberg was a keep of the fortress (castle) of Liedberg. There is no scientific dating of its age. According to Jakob Bremer, it could have been built around the year 900 after the Norman raids. The residential tower, built from fired bricks and ashlar sandstone, lost importance after the construction of Liedberg Castle. In 1572 it was converted into a windmill by adding a wooden gallery and a wing hood to the tower. In the wars of 1664 and 1706 the gallery was destroyed and rebuilt in stone. In 1776 the rent collector of Liedberg Castle tried unsuccessfully to auction the mill because it was not profitable. The French declared the mill a domain in 1794. The unprofitable mill remained in operation until 1836. A storm in 1836 tore down parts of the roof structure, the wings with the axle and the pinion wheel, ending its use as a mill.
