Well... Bach's 6 sonatas and partitas for solo violin sums up a lot of what the violin can do in terms of counterpoint. Hardest would be chaconne of the first partita.
Paganini's 24 caprices; all of them very very very hard. They're the last of the "studies" that you would attempt (unless you were very good) and show what the violin can do in terms of technique; eg. Ricochet, sautille, spicatto, trills, tremelos, fingered octaves, tenths, large string crossings, very high positions, fast scales and arpeggios...


The four greatest violin concertos:


Max Bruch, G minor
Beethoven (of course)
Brahms
Mendelssohn E minor :)


I'm sure there are lots more of important violin works but I can't just think of any right now.
