Sights – history – culture

Walk along the stately patrician houses from the Renaissance market square to the most important surviving early Renaissance castle in Germany - Hartenfels Castle - in just a few minutes. There are regularly changing special exhibitions to see in Torgau. A visit to the castle chapel, the first Protestant church built according to Martin Luther's ideas and consecrated by the reformer himself, is the best way to relive the Reformation period. Luther's wife, Katharina von Bora, died in Torgau. Her death house is part of the Torgau Museum Trail. Katharina's grave can be seen in St. Mary's Church.
