The Stiftskirche St. Servatius, part of Quedlinburg Abbey, stands on the castle hill of Quedlinburg. The article calls it a significant Romanesque building. King Otto I founded the abbey in 936 at his mother Mathilda's request, as a memorial to his father, Henry the Fowler. The article names no architect.
Work on the three-nave basilica began before 997 on the remains of three earlier buildings. It was consecrated in 997 and finished in 1021. A fire in 1070 caused severe damage, and the church was rebuilt in its earlier form and rededicated in 1129. The crypt holds the graves of Henry and Mathilda, though Henry's stone coffin is empty.
In 1936 to 1939 the choir was altered for Nazi use as a shrine, and the Gothic interior was later returned to Romanesque style. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1994.
