The Geisa city fortifications are still largely preserved. It was built in 1265 and rebuilt in 1594. The two city gates in the north and south were demolished in 1832; In 1858 the southern part of the city fortifications was destroyed by a fire. The eastern part of the wall is preserved as a high wall with buttresses and embrasures, while the western part is partially built over with residential buildings. In addition to the burglary tower in the castle area, there are three other towers partially present.

The city walls originally date from 1265. The first renovations took place in 1594. In 1858, parts of the city wall were destroyed by fire. Of the four wall doors, only the burglary tower in the castle area has been completely preserved.
