I have always been named this way according to the workshops of the city, which immediately moved here to my vicinity below the hill, when my larger neighbor and i, the Maiden Tower and the adjoining wall were erected in defense of the city. Which happened almost 650 years ago. The work yard was called the Marstall or horse stable. There were smithies here, where initially horses were shoed, later weapons were made and even later all of the grand cannons and church bells of the city were cast.

I warn you that my pretty sweet look is deceptive! I was used as a prison in the 17th century, during the Swedish period. The citizens did not like the prison comfort I offered. It was very cold in here and the prisoners were kept in chains, so that they would not slip away to freedom through my defensive openings. The prisoners could admire the proud noblemen and their horses through the defensive openings during the day but at night they would experience an appalling view instead: ghosts that exited the cell walls.
