St. Augustin Kloster

The young Martin Luther studied the law before switching to theology at Erfurt University from 1501 to 1505. After a personal revelation, Luther asked to become a monk in the St. Augustin Kloster on July 17, 1505. He became an ordained priest here in 1507, and remained at the Kloster until 1511. Today the Kloster is a seminary and retreat hotel as well as a popular concert venue. There's also a small museum showing what the life of an Augustinian monk was like in Luther's day.
