Then it was manned by the Polish crew of Krzysztof Rapp. At that time, the moats were deepened, casemates for ammunition were built, the courtyard was filled, the embankments were strengthened and a new quadrangular well was dug, which modernizations allowed the Polish crew to repel a six-week siege of Turkish troops in 1699.
