The current church tower was originally a residential tower for the princes, like the south tower, but was badly damaged in the Seven Years' War in 1760 and then converted into a church tower and bell tower by adding two floors made of wood with copper cladding. These wooden parts burned after being bombarded again in the war in 1813. The Prussian military turned the remaining tower stump into a cannon bastion.
