The fortifications of Anklam were dismantled in 1762 and have not since been restored, al-though the old walls are still See also:standing; formerly, however, it was a town of considerable military importance, which suffered severely during the See also:Thirty Years' and the Seven Years' See also:Wars; and this fact, together with the repeated ravages of See also:fire and of the See also:plague, has made its See also:history more eventful than is usually the See also:case with towns of the same See also:size
.
It does not possess any remarkable buildings, although it contains several, private as well as public, that are of a See also:quaint and picturesque See also:style of See also:architecture
