Stiftskirche St. Servatius, Romanesque church in Quedlinburg, Germany
Stiftskirche St. Servatius is a Romanesque church with three naves and a flat roof, built on Castle Hill overlooking Quedlinburg's old town. The building dominates the city skyline and contains an important collection of religious artworks and sacred objects inside.
Construction of this church began around 1070 and was completed in 1129, following Romanesque architectural principles. It served as the religious center of a collegiate foundation and is closely tied to Quedlinburg's development as a royal and ecclesiastical residence.
The church treasury displays medieval manuscripts, relics, and precious textiles that visitors can see today, showing how believers and monks expressed their faith through crafted objects over the centuries.
The church is open Tuesday through Sunday with hours varying by season. Wear comfortable shoes for the climb up to Castle Hill, and check current opening times before your visit to plan accordingly.
The crypt beneath the church holds the remains of King Henry I and his wife Mathilde, making it one of the oldest royal burial sites in the Holy Roman Empire. This burial place connects the church to early medieval European political history.
