The city fortification was demolished after the great fire in 1848, leaving only a few remnants, and the stones were used for building houses. However, the "Round Tower" and the "Square Tower" were preserved and served as emergency housing. The tower has a height of 14 meters and a diameter of six meters. Originally, as old pictures show, it had a high spire that was surrounded by four watch towers. Around 1690, the "Round Tower" received a curved cap that matches the spire of St. Peter's Church. Even today, the firing slits can still be clearly seen, through which the tower received the nickname "Powder Tower."
