Wettin, Medieval castle district in Wettin-Löbejün, Germany
The district of Wettin extends across valleys and hills surrounding Wettin Castle, positioned on a steep slope along the right bank of the Saale River.
The location gained significance in the 6th century when Sorbian settlers constructed a fortress, which received its first documented mention as Civitas Vitin in 961.
The St. Nikolai Church, built in the 12th century in Romanesque style, stands as the largest and oldest religious structure in the district.
The district connects to major transportation routes through the A14 motorway exit and offers public transit services through the PlusBus network of Saxony-Anhalt.
The Templar Chapel in the Mücheln section represents the only remaining chapel of the Knights Templar order in Germany, constructed during the 13th century.
