Naumburg Cathedral, dedicated toSt. Peter andSt. Paul in the town ofNaumburg, is an importantLate Romanesque,Early andHigh Gothic building. Especially interesting are the donor figures and sculptures of the westernrood screen and works of the Naumburg masters.

The church was built next to an older church dedicated to theBlessed Virgin Mary when theepiscopal seat moved fromZeitz to Naumburg in 1028. Afterthe Reformation the first Protestant bishop was appointed in 1541. With the death of the lastbishop,Julius von Pflug, in 1564 thebishopric was dissolved and went to theElectorate of Saxony; the church lost its function as an episcopal seat. However, it remains the church of the Evangelical cathedral parish.
