Anyone entering St. Martin is confronted with an asymmetrical space. The reason for this lies in the tower, which is the oldest part of the church. Its substructure was built around 1280. The church was built around this tower in the following centuries: first a Chapel of Our Lady, then the Market Church of St. Martin. Due to the spatial limitations of the market square and the enlargement of the nave, it was not possible to build on one axis and so the central nave was simply moved to the south.
