Coswig, Municipality by the Elbe River in Wittenberg, Germany.

Coswig stretches along the right bank of the Elbe River, positioned 12 kilometers west of Wittenberg and 15 kilometers east of Dessau.

The Castle of Coswig, first documented in 1187, developed into a prominent settlement north of the Elbe River by 1215 when it gained status as Oppidium.

The Nicolaikirche and New Apostolic Church represent religious landmarks in Coswig, while the Castle serves as a central architectural monument in the town.

The railway station, inaugurated in 1841, connects Coswig to regional transportation networks and provides regular service for residents and visitors.

The Coswig Ferry maintains a traditional river crossing service to Wörlitz, continuing centuries of transportation across the Elbe River.
