As a mighty bulwark, the old bastion secured the most endangered side of the city - today it serves as a romantic open-air stage. Various types of events take place in the Ochsenzwinger cultural center.

The Old Bastion, once part of the medieval city fortifications, was built in the 15th century to protect the city at a particularly vulnerable point—the rising terrain of the Galgenberg. The bastion was heavily fortified and could accommodate up to ten cannons.
