[EN] The Forkesch tower, or the goldsmiths tower, had been one of the three main defense towers. It was built between 1494-1534 and had three storeys. Its roof had a pyramid structure under which a special balcony-like part was made for the guards. On the walls of the tower you can see the thin loopholes. Until 1800 the tower had a clock, with a gong sound it indicated the exact time.
[RO] Turnul Forkesch, sau Turnul Aurarilor era unul dintre cele trei turnuri principale ale sistemului de fortificaţie al oraşului. Este un turn masiv construit între anii 1494-1534, are trei etaje și acoperiş piramidal. Sub acoperiș este o galerie de strajă din lemn, care iese în consolă, iar pe fațadele turnului se pot vedea goluri de tragere foarte înguste. Până în 1800 turnul avea și un ceas care indica ora prin bătăi de gong.

Piramis alakú; tetőszerkezete alatt egy balkonszerű részt képeztek ki, az őrjárat részére, a torony falán pedig jól láthatóak az igen keskeny lőrések. 1800-ig a toronyórája is volt, amely gongszóval jelezte a pontos órát.
