A gate in the southern part of the defensive wall.

The long and expensive project of building the city's defensive walls was completed only at the end of the 15th century. In the first stage, stone walls were built, which were overlaid with bricks in the 15th century. Due to the development of firearms, foregates were also built at that time. Although Maszewo was not one of the richest and largest urban centers in Western Pomerania, the expansion of fortifications was probably facilitated by numerous local conflicts.

In the 17th century, the fortifications fell into decline and were partially destroyed, losing their defensive functions, which was caused by city fires during the Thirty Years' War and epidemics that decimated the inhabitants. In the years 1784-1786, the city council began to liquidate the outer ring of fortifications, filling in the moats and planting earth embankments, in their place gardens were created for sale to residents. In the first half of the 19th century, the foregates were demolished, and in 1866 the two city gates were demolished. In 1854, a walking promenade lined with trees was marked out on the former embankments.

A break in the defensive walls of Maszewo. This is where the Stargard Gate was located, demolished in 1866.
