The Seeberg Observatory on the Kleiner Seeberg was put into operation in 1790. It served as an astronomical observatory until 1839. Built according to plans by the Austrian astronomer Franz Xaver von Zach, astronomical research flourished here, including the first European Astronomy Congress in 1798. Today, the building is used as a restaurant.

The north gate was built in 1855 in the Gothic style, and the defensive wall was built around the then fortified church. The church fountain was renovated in 2002.
