Originally planned as a fortified church, it was surrounded by a high wall and ramparts, some of which can still be seen today. The fortified entrance to the fortifications and the original church tower itself also indicate this use. On the entrance tower you can see so-called grinding grooves or sharpening grooves, which are believed to have been caused by enemy soldiers. They liked to sharpen their sabres on church buildings in order to obtain a special blessing for their weapons. In reality, they were probably created by craftsmen sharpening their tools.
