Coswig, Municipality by the Elbe River in Wittenberg, Germany.
Coswig is a town situated along the Elbe River on its right bank between Dessau and Wittenberg. The settlement has a compact center with the Castle as its main landmark and historic buildings arranged near the riverfront.
The Castle was first documented in 1187, and by 1215 the area had developed into a significant fortified settlement. This early foundation laid the groundwork for the town to become an important regional center on the Elbe.
The Nicolaikirche and New Apostolic Church are visible landmarks that reflect the town's religious traditions. The Castle stands as a central structure that shapes the town's character and appearance.
The railway station, opened in 1841, provides regular connections to regional transport networks for both residents and visitors. The town's location on the Elbe and its good rail links make it easy to reach.
A traditional ferry service connects the town to Wörlitz across the Elbe, following routes established centuries ago. This crossing remains one of the few places where visitors can experience a classic river passage by boat.
