Very beautiful and breathtaking cathedral in a great city. There are countless highlights in Naumburg, and the cathedral is definitely one of them. There are many things inside to discover and admire.

The highlight of the cathedral is currently the new Naumburg Altar by Michael Triegel. It originally came from Lucas Cranach the Elder, who created it in 1519. Iconoclasts destroyed the central panel in 1541. The United Cathedral Donors commissioned the Erfurt artist, known for his Old Master style, to create a new central panel. The new part fits harmoniously between Cranach's Renaissance side wing and is located in the west choir of the cathedral. It can still be viewed until December 4th, then unfortunately it's supposed to be gone.

Hiking

A feast for the eyes and ears, a guided tour with an audio guide is a highlight.
Since the cathedral no longer belongs to the church, you have to pay an entrance fee of €7.50 and €2 if you want to take pictures.
But the money is well spent here.
