Martin Luther's Birth House

Eisleben, Germany

Martin Luther's Birth House (Martin Luthers Geburtshaus) is a museum in Eisleben, Germany. The actual house in which Luther was born no longer exists, it having been burnt completely to the ground in 1689.

The German religious reformer Martin Luther was born there in 1483. Opened to the public in 1693, it is a World Heritage Site. In 2005-2007 an expansion was added for visitors; the ensemble has since received five architectural awards.

Comprehensive exhibition about Luther's life and influence on the region as well as on the entire world in the past and today. Worth seeing. Self-guided tours in several languages available. Group tours upon request.

What a special place to visit! The lingering affects of what Martin Luther set in motion had such important results to the world. Thank you for recognizing his life. While a small musuem, and some times with dark and sad content; it certainly sets the tone of the time he lived through.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
