The town of Liedberg lies on the north side of the island mountain of the same name, Liedberg. This is designated as a nature reserve and is the oldest natural and cultural monument in the Rhein-Kreis Neuss. The quartzite hill was formed over a million years ago and, at up to 84 m above sea level, is one of the highest elevations on the left bank of the Lower Rhine in the lowlands of the Lower Rhine Bay. Stone tools from the Paleolithic period have been found here. Continuous settlement and use of the area has been confirmed since Roman times.[2] On the Haag, the wooded top of the hill, the 18.50 m high defensive and residential tower (mill tower) and the former Electorate of Cologne Liedberg Castle are a defining feature of the landscape.

The customs fortress is surrounded by a city wall around 1100 meters long. There are towers of various designs at the corners: to the northwest the round Krötschenturm, to the northeast the rectangular Rhein-/Zollturm, to the southeast the Schlossturm, to the southwest the round Mühlenturm and, in the inner city on the castle wall, the Juddeturm. There were two public gates into the city: to the north through the Rheintor and to the west through the Feldtor. The former was partially demolished in the 19th century, the latter almost completely. A third outer gate (south gate), which is the best preserved, formed the entrance from the Zwinger to the outer bailey. Zons' old town is one of the best preserved late medieval town complexes. It attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every year and allows them to travel back in time to the late Middle Ages...
