Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul, Naumburg

The cathedral of St. Peter and Paul is a landmark on the ‘Romanesque Road’ tourist trail and was built in about 1210. The early Gothic west choir dates from 1250-60.

Naumburg Cathedral is one of the most famous buildings on the ”Romanesque Road“. It marks the transition from the Romanesque to the Gothic era. The crypt of the preceding building and a Romanesque crucifix (from the 12th century) are well preserved. The Cathedral is most famous for its statues of the church founders, including Margrave Ekkehard and his beautiful wife Uta (from the 13th century). A visit to the neighbouring cathedral treasure vault is worthwhile.
