The 5-storey Baronturm (former Stachesturm) had only light board cladding on the city side, which was later closed with half-timbering. The town's battlements led several steps down through the tower. A remnant of the 8 meter high city wall adjoins the west side. A great remnant of the city's old fortifications.

It is a 5-storey tower connected with a parapet walkway that ran underneath. The city wall is around 8 m high.
