Archbishop Ernst of Saxony (1476–1513) laid the foundation stone for Moritzburg Castle in 1484 and moved into his new residence along with his court in May 1503. By this time, the building was virtually finished except for the chapel. Arch - bishop Ernst’s successor, Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg (1490–1545) – Martin Luther’s powerful adversary – decorated Moritzburg Castle with sumptuous furnishings including rich wooden panelling, magnificent tiled stoves, luxurious carpets, murals and exquisite paintings by the great artists of the day, such as Cranach, Grünewald and Dürer.
