Königspfalz Helfta, Medieval royal palace ruins in Lutherstadt Eisleben, Germany
The archaeological site contains remains of churches, palaces, and fortified settlements spread across two hills named Kleine Klaus and Große Klaus.
Emperor Otto I and Otto II visited this royal residence in the 10th century, establishing its importance as a strategic administrative center.
The excavated Radegundis Church, measuring 30 meters long and 20 meters wide, served as a burial site for regional nobles until the 15th century.
The archaeological park, scheduled to open by 2028, will feature a visitor center, observation tower, and interactive 3D models with entrance fees between 3-5 euros.
Archaeologists discovered a 13th-century gilded bronze Christ figure from Limoges, likely part of an altar cross among numerous medieval artifacts.
