The defensive tower of the mighty Querfurt Castle, whether it will ever be made accessible, 😎 would be.

In the spring, the grass along the path is quite high, but it's worth fighting through; you'll be rewarded with plenty of orchids in the limestone slopes.

The Protestant city church of St. Lampert is dedicated to Saint Lambert of Liège. The three-aisled hall church, built between 1475 and 1523, was damaged in several city fires but was repeatedly rebuilt. In 1643, General Königsmarck had the upper part of the tower demolished because it likely threatened the castle's security.

You can enjoy pleasant seating, both inside and outside, and excellent food at the "Thaldorfer Kartoffelhaus," which specializes in potato dishes as well as schnitzel. After closing on Mondays and Tuesdays, the restaurant serves hot meals on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

In the Quernetal valley beyond the city limits toward Lodersleben, the abandoned Querfurt-Vitzenburg railway line is waging a hopeless battle against nature. Birch trees grow between the sleepers, shrubs overgrow the rusted tracks. The last train ran here at the end of December 1998, and the line, opened on July 1, 1904, was then abandoned.

The municipal vineyard "St. Bruno" was reestablished in 2007 on the former vineyard of the Marienzell monastery of the noble Lords of Querfurt. The vineyard was named after Saint Bruno, one of the most famous members of this noble family. The grape varieties Gutedel, Pinot Blanc, and Blauer Zweigelt are cultivated here. The wine produced from these grapes is called "Edler von Querfurt."

Marienzell Monastery, on the banks of the Querne River not far from the castle, was the most important of the six monasteries founded by the rulers of Querfurt. The Benedictine monastery was originally located at Lautersburg Castle near Lodersleben, seven kilometers away, from 1120 onwards. In 1146, it was relocated here to Eilwardesdorf for security reasons. The monastery included a large church dedicated to the Virgin Mary and Saint Brun of Querfurt. The convent was dissolved around 1558. Today, only an information board remains at the site of the original monastery. However, the "Saint Bruno" vineyard opposite, cultivated by the monks, has been preserved.
