The community tower with a cylindrical conical roof , key notches and a baroque , onion-crowned lantern as well as a remnant piece of the cemetery wall have been preserved from the former fortification .
Around the church a rampart in the shape of a horseshoe with a radius of 75 m encloses the northern part of Gibbach. The embankment, which is only faintly visible, is 0.2 m high and has a heavily flooded ditch. The distance from the crest of the wall to the ditch is 9 m.
