Naumburg: UNESCO Naumburger Dom, Uta and Ekkehard Donor Figures, and the Saale-Unstrut Wine Town
Naumburg has around 29,700 inhabitants and lies at the confluence of the Saale and Unstrut rivers in Sachsen-Anhalt. The Naumburger Dom, a late Romanesque and early Gothic cathedral, received UNESCO World Heritage status in 2018. Its 13th-century donor figures, particularly Uta von Ballenstedt and Ekkehard von Meissen, are among the finest medieval sculptures in Europe.
The Saale-Unstrut wine region, Germany's most northerly quality wine area, surrounds the town. Vineyard terraces line the river valleys. Weissenfels is about 20 kilometres north. Jena is roughly 30 kilometres south. Bad Koesen is nearby with its Gradierwerk salt graduation tower. The Altstadt has a well-preserved Renaissance market square.
