Wartburg Castle is where Martin Luther hid after speaking against the wrong doing of the Catholic Church like indulgences. Indulgences is when people can buy forgiveness of their sins. The corridors were small and I also remember Luther's bedroom where he translated the bible to German and also started the protestant church. St Elizabeth also had a room in the castle. She was the one that did the Miracle of Roses. One day she was carrying a basket of bread under a blanket to give the poor people, and her husband, the King, didn't like her doing that. So he asked what is in the basket. She said, "Roses" and when he opened it, there were roses instead of bread. Her room was mosaiced in gold colour and was very beautiful unlike the plain simple one Luther had.
