Quedlinburg is a World Heritage listed town that was saved from the ravages of World War 11 and has a unique old town of 'half timbered houses'. We visited the market square, churches and the castle which was built in the 900s. This was home to the first German king, Heinrich 1 who was buried there in 936.
The castle became a convent from 1539 till 1803 and the state rooms are furnished grandly as the abbesses in charge of the convent lived.
The best part of the day was simply walking through the streets and sitting in the square below the castle enjoying lunch while we admired the view.
