At the pavilion, overlooking La Neuveville, there is a plaque with the almost square historical town complex from the 14th century. The city wall has seven towers, most of which were built shortly after the city was founded in 1312. In the southeast is the Tour de Gléresse (also Tour Wyss), towards the lake the Tour de Rive, in the southwest the Tour Baillif, the Tour Hildebrant, the Tour Jaggi in the northwest and in the north the Tour Rouge (Zytgloggeturm), which was built in 1592– was changed in 1596. The massive construction of the Tour Carrée (also Tour des Cloches) northeast of the old town was not built until 1520.
