German: Naumburger Dom St. Peter und St. Paul), located in
Naumburg, Germany, is the former
cathedral of the
Bishopric of Naumburg-Zeitz. The church building, most of which dates back to the 13th century, is a renowned landmark of the German late

donor portrait statues of the twelve cathedral founders (
Stifterfiguren) and the

Naumburg Master, is one of the most significant early
Gothic monuments.
