Photos: Castle Church, Wittenberg

This gallery of 94 photos accompanies our article on the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany. On the door of this church in 1517, Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses against the sale of indulgences - and launched the Reformation. The church contains the tombs of Luther, Melanchthon and Frederick the Wise. All photos marked © Sacred Destinations are available for licensing.
