Wartburg
Eisenach, Germany, Germany
Wartburg Castle in Eisenach, Germany, is a UNESCO World Heritage site perched on a forested hill, originally built around 1067 by Louis the Springer to secure Thuringian borders and first documented in 1080.
It flourished as a cultural hub under Landgrave Hermann I around 1200, hosting poets like Walther von der Vogelweide during legendary song contests, and famously sheltered Martin Luther from 1521–1522, where he translated the New Testament into German, sparking the Protestant Reformation.
Restored in Neo-Romanesque style in the 19th century by Grand Duke Karl Alexander, the well-preserved medieval fortress blends Romanesque palaces, towers, and interiors symbolizing a millennium of German history.
