Naumburg Cathedral and the High Medieval Cultural Landscape of the Rivers Saale and Unstrut
Naumburg Cathedral and the High Medieval Cultural Landscape of the Rivers Saale and Unstrut, Medieval cathedral complex in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.
The cathedral exhibits both Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements, featuring twelve life-sized donor statues in the western choir created by the Naumburg Master.
The construction of Naumburg Cathedral began in 1029 when the episcopal seat relocated from Zeitz, with the church receiving consecration to Saints Peter and Paul in 1044.
The cathedral's interior contains the oldest known stone sculpture of Saint Elisabeth, created shortly after her canonization in the Elisabethkapelle section.
Visitors can explore the cathedral complex, attend Protestant services, and access the structure through guided tours available in multiple languages throughout the year.
The Naumburg Master's workshop influenced architectural developments across the German Empire, with their distinctive sculptural style visible in various regions.
