The early 14th-century civic tower once served, in addition to its defensive function, as a debtors' prison on its second floor when a debtor couldn't pay or provide a reliable guarantor. Drunkards, rioters, adulterers, and parents whose children were truant from school also received a short "tower punishment." Until the end of the 17th century, a circular enclosure preceded the tower.
