Fortifications Description

Of Barth's former circuit of walls with four gate-towers there remains only the Dammtor (14th C.), a brick-built structure with small dormer windows in the roof. The Fangelturm (16th C.) was used for a time as a prison; it now houses an astronomical station run by the local secondary school.
