    A fortification was first mentioned in documents around 1255. A moat was mentioned in 1261, city gates in 1297 and a wall in 1298. The fortification consisted of a ring of walls with battlements.

    Since the beginning of the 19th century, the fortification has lost its importance as a defensive structure and the population was given permission to build their houses directly next to the wall, with the condition that they did not create any openings for windows, for example.
