Church sights in Lutherstadt Wittenberg

  1. A

    Schlosskirche

    The door of the Schlosskirche is where, on 31 October 1517, Luther is said to have nailed his 95 Theses confronting the Catholic Church; the door in question was destroyed by fire in 1760. In its place stands an impressive bronze memorial (1858) inscribed with the theses in Latin. Inside is Luther’s tombstone, opposite that of fellow reformer Philipp Melanchthon.
