Wittenberg

Wittenberg was central in the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century. This little medieval town was where Martin Luther’s 95 Theses were nailed to the doors of the Castle Church, where you can now visit his tomb. You can visit Luther’s House, an old cloister, and Lucas Cranach’s art studio. Cranach is known in art history for his portraiture and woodcuts.  Every June and October, medieval fairs – the Luthers Hochzeit and the Reformations Fest – feature music and cultural events.
