" A Mighty Fortress is our God..." When Martin Luther penned the words of this hymn, he was probably thinking of the Wartburg Castle, towering above Eisenach, Germany.
Luther spent close to a year in relative seclusion at this castle for his own protection from Catholic Church leaders. The first 3 months he was there, he translated the first German translation of the New Testament.
The photo above shows Luther's room where he wrote. The photo below shows the view near his room.
When Luther was a young lad, long before he holed up in the castle, he studied in Eisenach and lived in this home at one time.
We feel privileged to walk in Luther's footsteps and see church history become real to us.
