    Tips

    October 23, 2022

    Quedlinburg Castle rises up next to the St. Servatius Collegiate Church on the Stiftsberg hill, which impressively overlooks the World Heritage town of Quedlinburg.
    Extensive renovation and construction work is currently underway on the buildings of the former women's convent. Visitors will soon be able to enjoy a completely redesigned museum tour through the impressive ensemble of the collegiate church, church treasury and living and representation rooms.
    The castle museum is not open during the construction period, but the climb up the castle hill is still worthwhile. The St. Servatii Collegiate Church, with its important cathedral treasury and the burial place of King Henry I in the Romanesque crypt, can be visited. A walk through the collegiate gardens on the mountain plateau offers an enchanting view of the historic half-timbered town of Quedlinburg, which can also be enjoyed in the cozy atmosphere of the Schlosskrug restaurant.

        Quedlinburg's castle hill is in danger. This threatens not only the sandstone rock and with it the famous Romanesque collegiate church of St. Servatius and the collegiate buildings, but also numerous half-timbered houses in the town of Quedlinburg, which was added to the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage List in 1994.

        There have been static problems several times in its history. As early as 1571, the south wall of the transept of the collegiate church and in 1708 the south wall of the nave had to be partially rebuilt.

        The main problems are the desolate sandstone massif and the fact that the hill has grown steadily over the centuries, sometimes extending beyond the boundaries of the actual plateau. Even larger buildings were later built on the cultural rubble and there is no drainage.
