Our World Heritage Site is sprucing itself up for you!

Powerful women.
Treasures of the faith.
The history of Europe.

The Stiftsberg is the crowning glory 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 at his favourite palace in Quedlinburg. Queen Matilda and Otto I founded an imperial abbey here, which played a decisive role in the political and ecclesiastical structure of the empire until its dissolution in 1802.

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