Holiday apartments and houses in Halberstadt

What do you need to experience in Halberstadt?

The Gateway to the Harz

The former episcopal city of Halberstadt can be recognized from afar by its sacred buildings from the Romanesque and Gothic periods. These give the city a distinctive silhouette. The Gothic cathedral of St. Stephanus and Sixtus is not only the spiritual center of the place but also particularly impressive. Combined with the Church of Our Lady, which lies on the Romanesque Road, the two buildings form an impressive ensemble. The world-famous cathedral treasure with its total of 650 pieces is one of the most extensive, still preserved European treasures. The diverse cultural offerings are complemented by numerous museums. In the former residence of Johann Wilhelm Ludwig Gleim, the Gleimhaus, there is a literature museum and a research facility where you can admire more than 10,000 manuscripts, an originally preserved collection of poet portraits, and a historical library. An exhibition on the city and regional history awaits you at the Municipal Museum. The Berend-Lehmann Museum keeps the memory of the centuries-old tradition of the former Jewish community of Halberstadt alive. Also visit the Gleimhaus Literature Museum or the Heineanum Museum, which is a special natural history museum for ornithology. If you want to watch a symphony concert, opera, ballet, or play during your stay, the Nordharzer Städtebundtheater is the perfect place for you. You should also stroll around the cathedral square. There you will find the Church of Our Lady of Halberstadt. It is one of the three main churches of Halberstadt, alongside the cathedral and the Martinikirche. It is the only preserved four-towered basilica from the Romanesque period in Central and Northern Germany and one of the attractions of the Romanesque Road. In the leisure and sports center Halberstadt, you can relax in the sauna landscape, while your children frolic in the adventure swimming area. The indoor playground HaWoGe-Spiele-Magazin is considered the most beautiful playground in Germany. But also the Kinopark Zuckerfabrik and the Halberstadt Zoo invite you for a visit. In the district of Schachdorf Ströbeck, there is Germany's only public chess museum. If you want to take a slightly longer excursion, why not drive to Quedlinburg. The collegiate church is one of the most important buildings of the Romanesque period.
