Aegidia Curia
The Aegidia Curia is an ensemble of buildings in Naumburg (Saale) in Saxony-Anhalt, some of which date from the Romanesque period . The curia is part of the Romanesque Road .
Curia
The core of the buildings ( Domplatz 8 ), which originally served as the residential and administrative buildings of the canons of the neighboring Naumburg Cathedral, date from the beginning of the 13th century. After 1532 and again in 1890, the curia was comprehensively renewed. The farm buildings that have been preserved are of Romanesque, partly also of late Gothic origin. The portal on the eastern side is remarkable; it dates from shortly after 1532 and has canopies and seat consoles.

architecture
The chapel of the curia is on a square plan on the southeast side. The basement is simply designed. The upper floor, which contains the actual chapel, rests on it, set back a little and provided with corner pilasters . A frieze of triangles runs around the eaves . There is a small round window in the south wall. The roof is designed as a pyramid roof . In the south wall, a former portal can also be seen on the upper floor, which was accessible via a wooden flight of stairs. This entrance was removed in the late Gothic period and replaced by an arched curtain window .
The apse of the chapel protrudes from the east wall on a console.
Interior design
The basement has four groin vaults that rest on a central pillar. On the keystones are faces or grooved pins displayed.
The interior of the upper floor is characterized by an octagonal floor plan. Each wall is adorned by two pillars on which a round arch rests. The ceiling of the upper floor was also built as a vault. Round rod ribs run from the corners to a ring-shaped keystone.
There is a four-pass window in the western wall . The north wall is shaped by a column portal. The stone made altar is modern.
