The Great Bulwark is the strongest watchtower of the medieval fortress (masonry 4 to 4.5 meters). In the Middle Ages numerous people were imprisoned for "witchcraft" in the Middle Ages - and over 400 of them were allegedly executed.

The bulwark and the witch's tower are the most impressive fortifications in the city at a dominant point. Four meter thick walls and 16 gun chambers on four floors. approx. 20 m high. The witch's chamber, which was the former prison, is reached through the lower weir.
