Pögritz Mill

Even though it is still a beautiful place, on the strong wall you can get very close to the weir.

The beginnings of the church go back to the 12th century. Over time, the church has undergone a number of structural changes. At the end of the 13th century it was rebuilt in the Gothic style, which characterizes the church building to this day. In 1290 the church was reconsecrated by Archbishop Erich of Magdeburg in honor of the Holy Cross. St. Nicholas of Myra was chosen as namesake and patron saint.

Market square with town hall and war memorial, Querfurt

Highlight • Settlement

A nice little market square, town hall, bakery, gallery and war memorial make it a worthwhile destination.
Unfortunately the beautiful inn is closed.

Wettin Town Hall

Highlight • Monument

The Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) left its mark everywhere in Central Germany. Particularly typical are the so-called “Welschen Hauben”, which crown many churches (for example in Nemsdorf, Dornstedt, Steigra, Fienstedt or in cities like Querfurt and Bad Lauchstädt), but can also be found on town halls. In Wettin, however, subsequent city fires meant that a new building became necessary. There is an inscription on the building that bears the year 1660. In this city fire, the old cityscape was finally destroyed and the list of monuments assumes that the year indicates the renovation of the fire ruins, as the actual construction work was not completed until 1662. This is documented directly above by a coat of arms stone with the inscription:

Ao. In 1660, on March 10th, this town hall was demolished
brandt and in the same, 1661st and 1662nd years
with God's help new ones were built

The town hall has a featured tower, as can also be found in Mücheln or Querfurt. This is said to have been built at that time and has an arbor in the entrance area. Although the town hall is aligned with the small square, it does not dominate it because it is slightly offset and in the upper street.

get a whole day visit-free, that has to be used immediately
So up to Wettin has been on the list for a long time. Since the castle is now a high school and is no longer open to the public, the tour was over relatively quickly.
so still looking for a new destination.
