The popular town of Wernigerode with its historic town center and elaborately restored and colorful half-timbered houses is located on the northern edge of the Harz Mountains. The nickname "colorful city on the Harz" was coined by the German writer Hermann Löns at 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 the rich half-timbered idyll of Wernigerode.
Particularly worth seeing are also the remains of the town fortifications, the Krummelsche Haus, the front of which is completely covered with a carved wooden facade, and of course Wernigerode Castle®, which towers majestically over the town and provides visitors with interesting facts about the 800-year history of the counts and princes of Wernigerode in living quarters, some of which were originally furnished.
