Pass Castle Church, the famous church where Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door. Luther gave some of his sermons in this church and now is buried just under the pulpit. Another important landmark is Luther’s Oak., wherein 1520, Luther’s supporters burned a stack of writings of Church doctrine. In 1830, an oak tree was planted on the spot where all this allegedly took place. We finish our tour with Wittenberg University, where you can still see parts of the structure dating back to the XVI century. Luther himself worked within these walls and quotations of his are displayed on the walls in the entrance hall.

Discover the historic heart of Wittenberg, housing the Castle Church and the renowned door where Martin Luther impaled his 95 Theses. Wander through the streets, tracing the path of Martin Luther and his contemporaries. It’s hard to imagine this tranquil town as the epicenter of one of the most famous religious upheavals globally. The happenings that transpired here in the 1500s altered the core of Christendom. This is the place where Martin Luther lived and spread his teachings, and on October 31, 1517, he affixed his 95 Theses to the Castle Church’s door. The Protestant Reformation was set in motion. Occasionally referred to as the ‘Protestants’ Rome’, numerous Luther commemorative locations were incorporated into the UNESCO world heritage list in 1996.
