Church of St. Sylvester
The Church of St. Sylvester looks back on a long and eventful history. Its predecessor was the first ever church to be built in Wernigerode. It was erected on a hill known as the ‘Klint’, the site of the first Wernigerode settlement. The old German word ‘Klint’ means ‘hill’. The roestone that figures so prevalently in the buildings of Wernigerode was mined here until the 15th century.
