Visitors in the Lapidarium

The impressive vaulted cellar beneath the wing of the castle on the Elbe side contains its original sandstone sculptures.

The Lapidarium is part of the Torgau Museum Trail, which preserves particularly valuable buildings and makes them accessible to the public.

In the Lapidarium, in the Lower Court Room, the oldest part of the castle with unique medieval buildings, and in the impressive vaults under the castle church, visitors can experience an interesting excursion into the architectural history of the castle. The Lapidarium (Latin for "stone collection") allows "stone witnesses" to tell the story of the castle. Over the centuries, many of these often grotesque-looking sandstone works have weathered away. Removed from their original place at the castle and replaced by copies, the objects in the Lapidarium now bear witness to the former splendor of the former residence.
