Quedlinburg is a town on the River Bode on the northern edge of the Harz Mountains in the district of Harz in Saxony-Anhalt.
First mentioned in a document in 922 and granted a town charter in 994, the town was the seat of the royal palace of secular rulers visited at Easter from the 10th to the 12th century and of a ladies' convent for almost 900 years.
The historic old town with its cobbled streets, winding alleyways and small squares is home to over 2000 half-timbered houses dating back eight centuries. The old town is dominated by the Schlossberg with the castle and the Romanesque church of St Servatius.
With a historically built-up town centre covering more than 80 hectares, Quedlinburg is one of the largest area monuments in Germany.
Its closed medieval town layout and its huge stock of half-timbered houses document more than six centuries of half-timbered construction in a unique quality and quantity. Buildings from all periods and styles make Quedlinburg a prime example of the development of half-timbered construction.
