The popular town of Wernigerode with its historic town centre and lavishly restored and colourful half-timbered houses lies on the northern edge of the Harz Mountains. The epithet "colourful town on the Harz" was coined by the German writer Hermann Löns towards the end of the 19th century. The town hall on the market square, the leaning house, the smallest house and the oldest house are just some of these features that make up Wernigerode's rich half-timbered idyll.
Wernigerode Castle in Wernigerode, Saxony-Anhalt, took on its present form in the late 19th century and became a leading building of northern German historicism. Today it houses, among other things, a much-visited museum.
