Historically valuable exhibits in the historic chancery house

Since 2005, the faithfully restored building of the former Electoral Chancellery has been home to an exhibition of historically valuable exhibits and invites visitors to a special kind of encounter with the history and culture of Torgau.

The former farmstead of the Cistercian monastery became the property of the sovereign at the beginning of the 16th century. Elector Johann Friedrich set up the chancellery here around 1533, laying the foundations for modern Saxon administration and the use of the Electoral Saxon chancery language in Central Germany.

Special exhibitions with a variety of themes expand the presentation of the Torgau Museum of Town and Cultural History and create occasions to return with suitable themed events. Come and see for yourself!
