Hidden behind some trees, the provost was built in 1668 and was used as a prison until 1922. This is the former military prison and the place where the court-martial met. Later the city archives were housed in it, but now it is a residential house.

This building was built in 1668 as a military prison. The main building housed the officers' quarters and the court-martial room, where the soldiers were tried. At the rear is an outbuilding containing 8 cells.
