 Initially, the fortifications were made of dirt and wood, but later they were replaced by mightier stone walls.The first fortifications of Paczków were built in the mid-14th century upon the order of the Bishop of Wrocław, Przecław of Pogorzela.In the mid 15th century, Paczków had three gates - Wrocław Gate ("Brama Wrocławska", eastern), Kłodzko Gate ("Brama Kłodzka", western), and Zabkowice Slaskie Gate ("Brama Ząbkowicka", southern).
