Torgau - History full of life

Welcome to Torgau, one of the most beautiful Renaissance towns in Germany! Discover the former royal seat on the Elbe, which recently celebrated its 1050th anniversary. In 2022, Torgau hosted the 9th Saxon State Garden Show - an event that gave our town even more charm and quality of life. Since October 2023, we have proudly held the certificate as a family-friendly holiday destination!
