Historie Old Town of Wurzen
Historie Old Town of Wurzen, Medieval town center in Wurzen, Germany
The town center contains Gothic and Renaissance buildings arranged around a central marketplace with a late Gothic town hall at its heart.
The settlement gained prominence in the 12th century when Bishop Herwig of Meissen established a collegiate church, marking its transformation into an urban center.
The cathedral of St. Marien, built in 1114, displays Gothic architecture with medieval glass windows and a high altar representing local religious traditions.
The historic district connects directly to Wurzen railway station, providing transportation links to Leipzig and other major German cities through regular train services.
The birthplace of writer Joachim Ringelnatz stands within the old town, now serving as a museum dedicated to his literary contributions.
