    Defense tower with city wall from 1420. The horse gate, the lost tower, a defense tower and parts of the city wall have been preserved from the medieval city fortifications. A late-Gothic door jamb with a cloverleaf arch and a gable-shaped panel above it from the destroyed sacristy of the old church is walled in near the Propsteikirche.
