The defensive tower of the mighty Querfurt Castle, whether it will ever be made accessible, 😎 would be.

In the spring, the grass along the path is quite high, but it's worth fighting through; you'll be rewarded with plenty of orchids in the limestone slopes.

The Protestant city church of St. Lampert is dedicated to Saint Lambert of Liège. The three-aisled hall church, built between 1475 and 1523, was damaged in several city fires but was repeatedly rebuilt. In 1643, General Königsmarck had the upper part of the tower demolished because it likely threatened the castle's security.
