When the city walls were renewed in 1620 and a second ring of walls was built on the south side of the city, the southeastern stretch was reinforced by a single-storey defensive tower, the so-called French Tower.

The tower on the city wall called "French Tower" was built around 1620 on the south-east corner of the city wall as a reinforcement. It was renovated in 1988 and is now used for residential purposes.
