Hiking

When more and more cannons and other firearms came into use after the invention of gunpowder, the old castle was expanded into an early modern fortress that could also withstand cannon fire and use its own cannons. Around 1530, a gun tower (battery tower) was built to the west - connected to the actual castle only by a stone arch bridge - which now also made it possible to use its own cannons for defense.
