Nice collection of video and photo content. The picture seen at minutes 1.38 to 1.40 by the way was taken by my husband - but no grudge, I am glad you liked it! Been born in Quedlinburg and love it eventhough I no longer live there. Returning regularly!

Love that video clip. Of course Germany has great looking towns and cities. Anyway is the church a part of the Castle?

[PhoenixesRose]

It is. The church is actually a part of the original fortified castle structure. It was later modified into a monestary, with the out buildings surrounding it becoming used as housing for the monks serving there. Now it's just used as a tourist attraction.

That is not correct.

The church ist still used at least for annual church service on nights of December 24th every year. (I attended the last couple o' years.)

The name of the church is St. Servatii.

thanks for the correction - I think maybe I lost something in translation. This is a lovely town, and I simply adored the visit.

Forgot: thanks for visiting QLB and assembling and uploading this video, Rose! :)

There were no monks serving there. It has always been a collegiate for the daughters of higher nobilty from its foundation in 936 until it was dissolved in 1803
