Over Merseburg

Merseburg is a more than thousand-year-old town in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. Although the historic centre was largely destroyed in World War II, the town has several notable buildings, including the Merseburg Cathedral of St John the Baptist (founded 1015, rebuilt in the 13th and 16th centuries) and the episcopal palace (15th century). The cathedral-and-palace ensemble also features a palace garden (Schlossgarten). Other attractions include the Merseburg House of Trades with a cultural stage and the German Museum of Chemistry, Merseburg.
