A journey into the Middle Ages
Located on the northern edge of the Harz, Quedlinburg nestles into the beautiful landscape with its winding alleys, ancient cobblestone streets, and spacious squares surrounded by over 1,400 picturesque half-timbered houses.
With its uniquely preserved historic city layout and the Stift church and Stift buildings on the Schlossberg, Quedlinburg is among the top half-timbered towns in Germany and was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List of cultural treasures in 1994.
