With its foundation walls, the Dornburg Church is one of the oldest buildings in the city. It was most likely built when the settlement was relocated from the parcel in the old town to the current location around the market in the middle of the 13th century. Based on the patronage, it can be assumed that it was the successor to the royal church mentioned in the 10th century. The patronage changed from the Ottonians to the Bishop of Naumburg in 976, to the provost of Naumburg in 1321, until it finally passed to the sovereign, the Dukes of Saxony, in 1539. In pre-Reformation times the church was dedicated to Saint James. In 1717 the church and its archives fell victim to a city fire. In 1718, the reconstruction of the church with a late baroque design began.
