Watchtowers

Wachtürme

In the late 16th century, in connection with the construction of the rampart run and the parapet, three towers were built at the southeast side for the protection of posts and the observation of the forefield. In addition, the front location made it possible to shell the fortress’s flanks. For this, there are embrasures in the lower parts of the towers.
