On June 27, 2009, the Fronveste near the Austelvilla was inaugurated. It is a replica of the original building on Schulstrasse, which used to be a prison and the seat of the serf. Fool's houses and pillory bear witness to earlier methods of punishment. Today it houses the accommodation of the night watchmen, who start their tour from here.

Located right next to the Austelvilla is this beautifully restored tower with a pillory and “prisoner cage”. The story is explained on boards.
