Dreikönigskapelle, Three Kings

Between the Marienkirche and the east choir of the cathedral rises the steep roof of the Dreikönigskapelle, which dates back to a foundation of the Naumburg bishop Gerhard II von Goch in 1416. However, the chapel only occupies the upper floor of the building and was built on the ground floor of the Chapel of St Nicholas, which probably already existed in the 11th century and now houses the cathedral shop. The Dreikönigskapelle can be entered via an external staircase from the cathedral square and serves as a room of silence.
