An extraordinary monument to feudalism's dominion over Central Europe, whose history is wrapped together with personalities and cultural events of universal importance, the Wartburg was the home and center of power of the Holy Elisabeth. Here, Martin Luther found refuge and translated the New Testament. More recently, as a symbol of German unity and integration, the Wartburg was declared a World Cultural Landmark by UNESCO. The romance of the renaissance and Germany history is embossed on this splendid treasure.
