One of the town's main attractions is the Schlosskirche (Castle Church), most notably associated with the publication of Martin Luther's [[95 Theses]], a bold attack on the Roman Catholic Church's practice of indulgences. The castle church was remodelled between 1883 and 1892. According to the intentions of the builders, the world-historical significance of the castle church was to be expressed. In the spirit of the [[historicism]] period, the statement was related to the precursors and bearers of the Reformation, thus creating a Reformation memorial. On the occasion of the 500th anniversary of the posting of the theses in 2017, the church was extensively renovated.

===== Stadtkirche Wittenberg =====

St. Mary's Town Church and Parish Church is the mother church of the Reformation. The first Protestant service was held in it in 1521 by [[Justus Jonas the Elder]] and [[Andreas Bodenstein]] of Karlstadt. As Martin Luther's preaching church, it was the [[Reformation]] official church of the general superintendents of the Saxon [[Kurkreis]]. After the [[Congress of Vienna]] it became the official residence of the Wittenberg superintendents. The artistic decoration is well preserved and includes works by [[Lucas Cranach the Elder]] and [[Lucas Cranach the Younger]]. Epitaphs on the interior and exterior walls refer to the work of many important personalities. The cemetery chapel of the Holy Corpse stands to the south of the town church and once belonged to the walled cemetery area of the church.

===== Unbefleckte Empfängnis Catholic Church =====
The church on Mauerstraße was [[Consecration|consecrated]] in 1872 by Bishop [[Konrad Martin]]. It was renovated in 1999/2000.

===== Christ Church =====
Christ Church was built as another church in 1907/1908 in the suburb of Kleinwittenberg in historicist forms.
