St. Wiperti is a church situated in the southwest of the castle hill in Quedlinburg. The church is dedicated to the saints Wigbert and James. This historical site is a testament to the architectural mastery of the Romanesque period, with its crypt and church bearing witness to its significant past as a royal court of the Saxon-Ottonian ruling house.
Today, St. Wiperti serves as a stop on the Romanesque Road, a popular tourist route that connects sites of Romanesque architecture in Germany. The church is also listed in the Quedlinburg monument directory as Wiperti Monastery, further emphasizing its historical and architectural significance.
The St. Wiperti church was founded in the 9th century by the Hersfeld Monastery and originally housed an unregulated clergy association. This historical fact adds to the rich history of the church and provides insight into its early beginnings.
Since 1994, St. Wiperti has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a testament to its global cultural significance. Since 1995, a support association has been responsible for the maintenance and research of the church, ensuring its preservation for future generations.
