The Cathedral of St Peter and St Paul in Naumburg is one of Europe’s most important cultural monuments from the high middle ages and is a major visitor attraction on the Romanesque Route. The star attraction is the West Choir with its twelve statues of the cathedral’s donors. The noblewoman known as Uta, in particular, is considered by many to be the most beautiful woman of the middle ages.
The two high-medieval choir screens separating the choirs from the nave are also highly impressive. It is the only church in the world to contain two choir screens from the high medieval period.
