Quedlinburg Castle Hill & St. Servatius Church
Schlossberg & Stiftskirche St. Servatius
The heart of this UNESCO World Heritage town. The Romanesque abbey church holds the tomb of King Henry I and the famous Quedlinburg Treasury, and the castle hill overlooks the old town of half-timbered houses.
The abbey church of St. Servatius on Castle Hill was built between 1070 and 1129. It is a masterpiece of German Romanesque architecture, and in its crypt lie King Henry I of Germany and his queen, Matilda. The church treasury displays treasures such as medieval manuscripts and reliquaries. Some of these pieces were taken to the United States by American soldiers after the Second World War and were not recovered until the 1990s. At the foot of Castle Hill is the Feininger Museum, which houses works by the Bauhaus painter Lyonel Feininger. A combined ticket for the church and treasury costs about €10. Opening hours are shorter in winter.
