Quedlinburg, former royal palatinate and member of the Hanse League, is a charming mediaeval city, over 1000 years old. It lies to the North of the Harz mountains. Its fascination derives from its narrow winding lanes covered with ancient cobble-stone and its spacious squares ringed by half-timbered buildings, and dominated by the massive sand-stone mound which bears the castle and the Romanesque Collegiate Church of St. Servatius. This is where Germany's history began more than 1000 years ago. The greatest attraction in fact is Quedlinburg in its entirety. Some thirteen hundred half-timber buildings arrange themselves at the foot of Castle-Hill in quasi organic patterns on an area of about 80 hectares. Richly decorated facades exhibit the historic development of the half-timber architecture - like in a picture-book.
