Kapellenberg (Kleinjena) stands in Naumburg (Saale) (Burgenlandkreis), in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Kapellenberg, at Kleinjena near Naumburg, rises on a spur overlooking the confluence of the Saale and Unstrut rivers. Around the year 1000 it was the site of a major stronghold of the Ekkehardiner family, before power shifted to the Domberg in Naumburg. The area is now largely covered by single-family housing, and only sections of earthworks remain visible above ground, with the rest of the structures known through archaeological excavation.

What to know

  • No standing buildings remain; only sections of earthworks are visible at ground level.
  • The site has been built over with single-family houses since the 1980s.
  • Traces of a chapel or hall were identified only through archaeological excavation.
  • There are no opening hours, fees or visitor facilities, as this is an unmanaged open site.
