Welcome to the UNESCO-World Heritage Site of Naumburg Cathedral

The Cathedral of St Peter and St Paul in Naumburg is one of Europe’s most important cultural monuments from the high middle ages and is a major visitor attraction on the “Romanesque Route”. One of the cathedral’s most impressive features are the twin choir screens which separate the choirs from the nave. It is the only church in the world to contain two choir screens from the high medieval period!

The West Choir with its choir screen and 12 statues depicting the church’s donors, which date back to the mid-thirteenth century, forms the cathedral’s biggest attraction. Crafted by the Naumburg Master, the statue known as Uta is particularly special and is said to depict the “most beautiful woman of the middle ages”. 

The Naumburg Cathedral is an institution of the United Cathedral Foundations of Merseburg and Naumburg and the Collegiate Chapter of Zeitza non-profit foundation under public law.

Current OPENING CONCEPT

- Access is open to all, showing a negative test or proof of vaccination/health is required to visit not necessary.
- There are a limited number of visitors allowed in the Cathedral at any one time, so advance registration is recommended, especially for groups. The purchase of a time slot ticket is possible via our Shop (fast access in the time window is then guaranteed).
- In order to be able to trace infection chains, visitor data must be collected and stored. The data collection is carried out by the Luca app. Alternatively, you can leave your details in writing. The data entry form you can bring with you already filled out or fill out on site. (Please also note our Data protection information on the collection of visitor data.)
- It is mandatory for employees and guests to wear a medical mouth guard in the facilities.

Participation in public tours is at the moment only possible for tested, vaccinated or genesis with appropriate evidence. We recommend an early booking via our Ticket Shop. Guided tours for groups are only possible by appointment.
