Zeitz Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in Zeitz, Germany

The Cathedral of Saint Peter and Paul features a hall crypt, cloisters from 1400, and remains of a Romanesque collegiate church behind its Gothic facade.

Emperor Otto the Great established the episcopal see in 968, which later became a collegiate chapter after the bishop's seat transferred to Naumburg in 1028.

The Zeitz Chapter Library houses an extensive collection of medieval books left by Naumburg bishops and Zeitz canons, forming a major historical collection in Central Germany.

The cathedral offers guided tours throughout the year, with children under 18 entering free of charge and barrier-free access available for all visitors.

The cathedral's hall crypt from the 11th century remains one of its oldest preserved features, representing the Romanesque architectural period.
