Take a tour of Town of Quedlinburg in Germany – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
On the edge of the Harz mountain range near the center of Germany is the Medieval village of Quedlinburg.
The town has been inhabited since the early 800s when it was referred to as Gross Orden.
One of this locale’s most popular sites is its cathedral, which is a classic example of German Romanesque architecture.
The half-timbered foundations of the buildings primarily reflect classic German style architecture from the Middle Ages.
Quedlinburg’s old town has now become a focal point, in part because of the massive restoration effort undertaken upon the classic Fachwerk houses.
Though the town is dominated by Romanesque influences, some buildings portray architecture from various eras in history.
This UNESCO world heritage site was spared during World War Two, and as such is one of Europe’s most well-preserved medieval towns.
