Quedlinburg, a town full of history and culture, is largely a protected monument. The UNESCO World Heritage Site includes the old town, the Schlossberg and the collegiate church of St. Servatius. The historic old town impresses with its cobbled streets, winding alleyways and half-timbered houses dating back several centuries. The market square in the center is a popular meeting place all year round and is home to the atmospheric Christmas market during Advent. The Renaissance town hall with the Roland statue is a must-see on a tour of the medieval town. To the south, the Romanesque collegiate church of St. Servatius and the cathedral treasury on the Schlossberg (also known as Stiftsberg) are waiting to be discovered. The Romanesque monastery church of St. Marien am Münzenberg and the Romanesque church of St. Wiperti, the Abbey Garden and the Brühlpark are also among the most beautiful sights.
Even in bad weather, there is plenty to discover in Quedlinburg. The castle museum on the Stiftsberg tells the story of the convent and the town. The Klopstock House, birthplace of the poet Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock, is a literary museum with a special charm. In the half-timbered museum , you can trace the development of architecture in the World Heritage town. Art lovers will get their money's worth in the Lyonel Feininger Gallery , which presents works by the German-American painter.
