The city wall includes five gates with four gate towers (Baldinger Torturm collapsed in 1703), eleven further towers, and two bastions. Construction of the city wall began in 1327 by order of Louis the Bavarian.

The historic town center of Harburg enchants with its distinctive medieval flair. Narrow alleys, lovingly preserved half-timbered houses, and stately townhouses characterize the cityscape and invite you for a relaxing stroll.
