In search for a medieval fairy tale like town in Germany? Look no further!
Quedlinburg is the place to be ;-)

It's here that I kicked off my Destination Challenges in the Harz region.

On arrival I got a bunch of questions that I needed to find the answer to in this cute little town...



Here are the questions:

1. What's the statue on the left side of the city hall called?
2. What's the stone type of the St Blasii church?
3. What figure can be found on top of the waterfountain in front of the St Blasi church?
4. What did Henry, duke of saxony do at the Finkenherd?
5. What kind of animals can be found at the North East entrance of the Saint Servatius church?
6. 1300 of these type of houses can be found in Quedlinburg. What are they called?
7. Which declaration did the Saint Servatius church and the old town of Quedlinburg get?

If you like quizzes feel free to try and find the answers yourself ;-).
I'll share the answers further below.

How beautiful is the city hall of Quedlinburg?

This statue is called a Roland and only awarded to privileged medieval cities.

My favorite shot in Quedlinburg. Loved wandering through the alleys.

 

This is the style of houses you find so much in Quedlinburg: Fachwerkhaus

Finkenherd, the place where Duke Henry received the happy news that he'll be crowned King.

Found a pig on the side of the St Servatius Church :-)
