Get married
The enchanting Merseburg Imperial Cathedral, the unique World Heritage Cathedral in Naumburg or the impressive St. Michael's Church in Zeitz make a wedding unforgettable. Couples can say "I do" at all three locations of the Combined Cathedral Chapter.
MARRY IN THE MERSEBURG CATHEDRAL
Would you like to say "I do" in a magical place?
