Straße der Romanik
The former "Stiftskirche St. Wiperti" was established in 936 when the "Kanonikerstift St. Wigpertus" (of male canons) was moved from the castle hill to make way for what became Quedlinburg Abbey. The church was built at the location of the first Ottonian Royal palace at Quedlinburg. Around 1020, a three-aisled crypt was added to the basilica. The crypt, which survived all later alterations to the church, is also a designated stop on the Romanesque Road today.
