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

    Since the beginning of the 19th century, the fortification has lost its significance as a defensive structure, and the population was permitted to build their houses directly against the wall, provided they did not create any openings for windows, for example.
