Villas in Quedlinburg
Quedlinburg suits couples and city-break visitors who want a UNESCO-listed old town of timber-framed houses and a castle hill. Homes here are mostly small, for two to four, and none has a pool. The town is low and sits on the Harz's northern edge, so it is a place for walking streets rather than skiing.

Quedlinburg is a town of around 23,000 people in the Bode valley on the northern edge of the Harz, in Saxony-Anhalt. The homes sit close around the centre.

The castle hill carries the church, a museum and a treasury. Concerts run at St Servatii from June to September and a Christmas market runs for four weeks in December. Between November and March the church closes at 15:30 and the castle and timber-framing museums at 16:00.
