Wartburg Castle
Blending in with the surrounding forest, Wartburg Castle is in many ways the "ideal castle". Although it retains some original parts from the feudal period, the form it acquired during its reconstruction in the 19th century gives a good idea of what this fortress might have looked like at a time when the military and feudal power of the German Empire was at its height. It was during his exile in the Wartburg that Martin Luther translated the New Testament into German.
