Things to See in Sinzig
There is no point in the “Golden Mile” where the defining icon of Sinzig, the parish church Saint Peter, cannot be seen. The late-Roman Basilica is one of the most meaningful pieces of roman architecture, reason enough for the church to be added to the United Nation’s list of “World Culture Heritage” artifacts.
The Sinziger Schloss (Sinzig Castle) was built in the period of the Rhine Romantic. Between 1854 and 1858, the businessman Gustav Bunge of Cologne (Cologne vacation rentals | Cologne travel guide) ordered the erection of a summer villa in Sinzig in the style of a neo-gothic palace. Encompassing the palace is a garden, constructed in the style of a Romantic park. The castle has now been converted into a museum.

More about the History of Sinzig
Sinzig received its first official recognition in 762 A.D. On the tenth of July, King Pippin the Younger, the father of Carl the Great, presented a certificate of his decree in the Palace of Sinzig (Sentiaco Palacio), officially recognizing the city as “Sentiacum.” Sinzig first received its rights as a city on October 9, 1267.
Because of the influence Emperor Frederick Barbarossa had on the town, it is nicknamed a "Barbarossa town". Twice, the medieval city, which since 1300 has been protected by a massive wall, was almost entirely destroyed by fires, one in 1583 and another in 1758. Little of the wall now remains, as the industrialization and development of the city led to its nearly complete loss at the end of the 19th century. After World War II, Sinzig experienced a population explosion and soon evolved into an industrial city.
With the district reform of 1969, Bad-Bodendorf, Franken, Koisdorf, Löhndorf, and Westum became provinces of Sinzig. Today, Sinzig, together with the city of Remagen (Remagen vacation rentals | Remagen travel guide), have developed a modern consumer center, with multiple schools and shopping centers.
