Querfurt castle, Querfurt
Querfurt castle is a landmark on the Romanesque Road tourist trail, and is one of the largest well-preserved castle complexes in Germany. At its heart is the 12th century castle church; a museum is housed in the castle.
The castle of the Noblemen of Querfurt, whose oldest parts date back to the 10th and 11th century, is seven times larger in its area than that of Wartburg Castle. The Romanesque castle chapel and the Romanesque towers, ”Dicker Heinrich“ (Fat Henry) and ”Marterturm“ (Tower of Torture), are worth seeing.
