Spalatin's priest's house in Torgau

The elaborately restored priest's house is home to the exhibition "Sound and Faith", which examines the interplay between the Reformation and music and presents the lives of Johann Walter and Georg Spalatin. Mediation stations and a children's path make every visit an entertaining experience. The late Gothic priest's house was built in 1493/94 and is now the only surviving priest's house of the 15 houses in Torgau at the time. The house had been owned by Georg Spalatin, a court preacher and prince's tutor, since 1525. As a priest, he held six sung masses a week in front of the altar. At the time, the house was located in the so-called Schlossfreiheit between the castle and the market. With the help of the "Förderverein für Denkmalpflege in der Stadt Torgau eV", the priest's house was able to be preserved true to the original through numerous renovations from 2011. It is now the best and most authentically preserved priest's house in Saxony.
