Following extensive renovation, a new chapter is beginning at the Stiftsberg Quedlinburg World Heritage Site. From 28 March 2026, visitors will be able to experience the meticulously restored architecture of the complex, the inner courtyards with the newly designed façades of the collegiate buildings, and the garden with its reconstructed garden house. Also on display are the redesigned exhibition in St Servatius Collegiate Church, the crypt and the treasuries. The Stiftsberg once again presents itself as a cohesive site, whilst offering an impressive preview of what is to follow in the coming months.

The complete museum tour, including the exhibition in the Castle Museum, will open on 3 October 2026.

The Stiftsberg is the crown jewel of the UNESCO World Heritage Site in Quedlinburg. The complex is one of the most important sites in German and European history. From 919 onwards, King Henry I developed Quedlinburg into the centre of early Ottonian power and, at his own request, was buried in 936 in his favourite palace in Quedlinburg. Queen Matilda and Otto I founded a secular convent here, which played a decisive role in the political and spiritual fabric of the town and the empire until its dissolution in 1802.
