Take a tour of Quedlinburg Castle in Quedlinburg, Germany – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats. In the town of Quedlinburg, Germany, the Quedlinburg Castle stands head and shoulders taller than the surrounding buildings. Unlike many of the castles in Germany, this one was designed in the Romanesque style. This ties it in with the rest of Quedlinburg, which was largely built in this style and is part of a string of towns built in the Romanesque. The castle is quite old, built in the 10th century by the first king of Germany, Henry the Fowler. For about seven years during World War Two, Quedlinburg Castle served as a Nazi shrine. After the war, the castle was restored to its original state and remains an incredibly well-preserved piece of German history today.
