    Remnants of a fortress moat between the Weser and Aue rivers. The town was built on flood-protected dune terrain in the triangle between the Weser and Aue. To protect against attacks, a moat was dug from the Weser to the Aue, so that the town was completely surrounded by water. After the fortress was dismantled during the French occupation in 1808, the moat was gradually filled in. The Albert Schweitzer School, formerly a Latin school and now home to one of Nienburg's two grammar schools, stands on the site of the remaining section of the fortifications.
