On the city wall, which encloses the school premises in the east, there is a tower that is often incorrectly interpreted as the church tower of the monastery. However, this building from 1482 is a former defense tower of the city, which since 1953 has served as the “Copernicus Observatory” for astronomy lessons at the school.

It was part of the city fortifications and was still very well preserved
