Location

Like nearby Wyler, Zyfflich lies on the German-Dutch border, a few kilometres from the Dutch city of Nijmegen (German: Nimwegen), in the western extremity of Kranenburg municipality. This municipality has a significant proportion of Dutch nationals resident within its boundaries; and the westernmost villages in the municipality of Kranenburg to some extent function as dormitories for people who work in the Dutch city of Nijmegen.

Sankt-Martin-Kirche

Among significant buildings in Zyfflich is the Sankt-Martin-Kirche. The original part of Sankt-Martin-Kirche is said to date from circa 1010, reputedly the oldest church building in the Kleve district. The building underwent significant alteration and development in the 14th and 15th centuries.[1]

During its long history the structure sustained substantial war damage.
