Schloss Wittenberg, Electoral castle in Wittemberg, Germany
The Wittemberg Castle features late Gothic architectural elements and stands prominently with its central tower topped by a green copper dome.
First documented in 1187, the castle became the residence of Saxon prince-electors in 1422 under Frederick the Wise's leadership.
The bronze doors, added in 1858, display Luther's 95 theses in Latin text along with images of the reformer and his theological contributions.
The ground floor contains an information center for visitors, while the upper levels house an extensive Reformation research library.
The castle library maintains a collection of 220,000 books focusing on Protestant Reformation history and Lutheran movement documentation.
