Melanchthonhaus, Renaissance house museum in Lutherstadt Wittenberg, Germany
The three-story residence features late Gothic arched windows, stepped gables, and contains furnished study rooms showcasing Reformation period artifacts and manuscripts.
Built in 1536 by order of Elector Johann Friedrich I, the house served as the residence of Protestant Reformer Philipp Melanchthon until his death in 1560.
The permanent exhibition presents Melanchthon's manuscripts, prints, paintings, and personal items across 600 square meters of display space.
The museum opens daily from 10:00 to 18:00, offering guided tours through historical rooms containing Renaissance furnishings and educational materials.
Children receive an iron key to unlock cabinets throughout the house, discovering games while following the story of Melanchthon's daughter Magdalena.
