    When the Saxon Wettin dynasty split into two branches during the Partition of Leipzig in 1485, the former main residence, the Albrechtsburg Castle in Meissen, fell into the possession of the Albertine line of the Wettins. Elector Frederick III and his successors later had Hartenfels Castle in Torgau expanded into the new main residence of the Ernestine line. Construction of the castle was begun in the 15th century by Konrad Pflüger, a student of Arnold of Westphalia, and continued in the 16th century by Konrad Krebs. It is the largest completely preserved Early Renaissance castle in Germany and one of the masterpieces of the Saxon Renaissance.
