Castle Hartenfels in Torgau, Germany, is a striking example of early Renaissance architecture. Situated on the banks of the Elbe River, it was originally built in the 15th and 16th centuries and served as the residence of the Electors of Saxony. The castle is notable for its impressive spiral staircase, known as the Große Wendelstein, which is an architectural marvel of its time. Hartenfels also holds significant historical importance, as it was the location where Martin Luther consecrated the first Protestant church in 1544.
