What it is
At the top of Quedlinburg's castle hill stands the Romanesque collegiate church of St Servatius, founded in the early 10th century as a palace chapel by King Henry I, who was buried here in 936. For 800 years it was the church of an abbey of noblewomen. Its treasury, with gold reliquaries, manuscripts and ivories, is one of the most important of the German Middle Ages. The new permanent exhibition takes you through it together with the church, the crypt, the upper choir and the treasury's historic chambers.
