Covered Stairway

Next to the School Street there is a covered wooden staiway named the "Covered Stairs" or "Schoolboys' Stairs". The stair was built in 1642 to facilitate the schoolchidren's way to the School on the Hill during winter. Originally the stairs had 300 steps, but today their number was reduced to 175. The Covered Stairway leads also to the Church on the Hill.
