Torgau, Historical town in Nordsachsen, Germany
Located on the banks of the Elbe River, Torgau features Renaissance architecture with Hartenfels Castle as its central landmark point.
The city marked a significant moment in World War II when American and Soviet forces met at the Elbe River on April 25, 1945.
The first Protestant church, built within Hartenfels Castle in 1544, stands as a testament to Martin Luther's influence on religious architecture.
The central train station connects travelers directly to major Saxon cities, including Leipzig, Dresden, and Lutherstadt Wittenberg.
The Formula of Concord, a foundational document of Lutheran theology, was written in Torgau in 1576 by Protestant theologians.
