Old Digital Pictures of Wartburg

Tonight I am sharing some old digital pictures of Wartburg, Germany.

I was using a camera that saved the pictures on a diskette, so the resolution is not too good. I took these pictures back in the late 90’s during one of my first trips to Germany.

Wartburg is a castle in Eisenach, Germany and is on the World Heritage List. The castle is steeped in history.

There were some interesting events from the Reformation that took place in the castle.

Do you know who took refuge at Wartburg after the Diet of Worms?
