In 2011, the castle church received a very special gift from a Lutheran congregation in California - 2 octave handbells. These instruments, which are common in the USA, are played in the "choir". Each player has 2-4 bells in their hand. The 12 players in our ensemble currently take great pleasure in participating and enrich church services and concerts with the special sound of the handbells.

Contemporary history

As part of the new construction of Wittenberg Castle (1489-1518), Elector Frederick the Wise of Saxony (r. 1486-1525) had a castle church built from 1496 onwards, which was consecrated in 1503 and completed around 1509. It took up almost the entire north wing of the main castle, which consisted of three wings, and its interior was furnished with works by the most important artists of that period of transition from the Gothic to the Renaissance.
