Quedlinburg: Schloss und Stiftskirche St. Servatius

            The Schloss Quedlinburg (Quedlinburg castle) served as the seat of the abbess of the Reichsstift Quedlinburg (Quedlinburg imperial abbey). The abbey was an Imperial Estate founded in 936, one of the approximately forty self-ruling imperial abbeys of the Empire. It was dissolved in 1802 during the Prussian secularization. Members of the abbey were unmarried women from noble families. 

The castle (right) was built in a Renaisance style in the 16th century on the foundations of an older medieval castle. The interior was redesigned in the 18th century in a classicist style.

The Stiftskirche St. Servatius (St. Servatius Collegiate Church, left) next to it served as the church of the abbey. It was constructed in a Romanesque style between 1070 and 1129. It was sometimes referred to as Quedlinburger Dom (Quedlinburg Cathedral) in reference to the rank of abbess Mathilde as metropolitana, that is a rank equivalent to that of a bishop.
