The Romanesque castle chapel, dedicated to "Our Lady of Querfurt Castle," was a collegiate church. From 1323 onward, the Counts of Querfurt were buried here. The church, built in 1162 in a cruciform shape, stands on the foundations of an even older church. Its architecture is reminiscent of similar buildings in southeastern Europe. From 1698 to 1716, the church was rebuilt in the Baroque style. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Querfurt castle chapel, which had been closed for 20 years during the GDR era, was reopened to the public in 1992.
