From the year 1687 the garrison of the town belonged to the church and the church is still a garrison church as well as being an ordinary parish church.

Because it was cold and we were a bit fatigued from our walk through the city streets and fortification site, we ordered cake and coffee for our lunch. The carrot cake and cappuccino revived us nicely.
