Wartburg, Medieval castle in Eisenach, Germany
The Wartburg Castle stands at 410 meters above sea level on a steep hill, with its walls rising above the surrounding Thuringian Forest landscape.
Founded in 1067 by Louis the Springer, this castle provided refuge to Martin Luther in 1521 while he translated the New Testament from Latin to German.
The medieval architecture of Wartburg combines Romanesque and Gothic elements, featuring the Great Hall with detailed wooden structures and decorated chambers.
Guided tours lead visitors through multiple chambers, including the Luther Room, Knight's Hall, and museum collections displaying medieval artifacts and religious items.
The Minstrels' Contest of 1207 at Wartburg brought together German medieval poets and musicians, later becoming the basis for Wagner's opera Tannhäuser.
