The Naumburg Cathedral, one of the most important cultural monuments of the European High Middle Ages, is always worth a visit together with its cathedral treasure.
Visit the visitor magnet on the "Romanesque Road"! A must is certainly the early gothic west choir with its twelve founder figures, especially the founder figure Uta - THE symbol for the "most beautiful woman of the Middle Ages".
Great works of art in the cathedral and cathedral treasure must not be missed! The Romanesque crucifix in the crypt, the early Gothic west rood screen with its true-to-life figures and plants, the graceful Mary Magdalene by Lucas Cranach the Elder in the Cathedral Treasury or the stained glass windows in the Elisabeth Chapel designed by Neo Rauch will delight you as a visitor. The idyllic cathedral garden, on the other hand, lures you out behind the west choir to escape the hustle and bustle for a while.
Before you drive on, stroll into the pedestrian zone and have a drink in one of the nice cafés or restaurants.
After your culinary break we recommend a trip to the Merseburg Cathedral, about 35 minutes from Naumburg. There you will not only find the most beautiful sounding romantic Ladegast organ, which you can listen to from May to October in the series "Orgelklang 12", but also the Heinrich altar created by Lucas Cranach the Elder. You will be impressed by the cathedral treasure, which you can reach through the romantically situated cloister.
It is also worth making a detour to the Neumarktkirche with its Knotensäule, the only one of its kind in Central Germany.
