The Simson House is a town house from the second half of the 16th century.
It has an ornate Renaissance portal from 1574

The house impresses above all with the elaborate portal from the Renaissance period. Shown is the Samson story (Book of Judges in the Old Testament of the Bible), which tells of how Samson conquered a lion by ripping its mouth open.

The house at Marienstraße 12 a, called the "Simson House" from 1574, has a particularly rich decoration. It was built for the councilor Harnisch. It depicts, among other things, the saints Peter and Paul with their insignia of key and sword, which can be found in the Naumburg city coat of arms and go back to the Naumuburg diocese.
