  Dom, Naumburg
by antistar
 
 

Considered to be one of the most outstanding buildings in Germany, this cathedral was relegated to the status of a Protestant Parish church during the reformation. The cathedral consists of four towers piercing the Naumburg skyline above a cluster of monastic like buildings below. From all approaches the Dom imposes itself on the town, and inside is just as impressive. The high roof makes for an incredible accoustic effect, and the pale skin like textures of the walls offset against the extravagent sculptures that abound within.

The entrance fee is a little high, at 4 euros for what won't take you more than half an hour or so to wander around, plus you have to pay an extortionate 5 euros to be able to take pictures. That said, it's probably just about worth it, except for the pictures. You don't have to pay to walk around the inner yard, and you can freely take pictures of the Dom from there.

Directions: Take the road down the right side of the town hall and keep walking until you reach the Dom.
