Wuerzburg: Things To See & Do

Fortress
Marienberg
The well known symbol of the
city and once home for the city's prince-bishop, it first took shape
during the 14th century, and was over the centuries rebuilt and
remodelled until it assumed its present form today in the 1600s. Today,
it houses the Mainfränkisches museums, with some of the best Franconian
art pieces.

Wüerzburg Residence
Built from 1720-1744 to be a
'palace of palaces' for the Schonborn prince-bishops, this is
magnificent German Baroque palace is a UNESCO Cultural preserve for its
cultural and architectural magnificence. There are over 300 lavishly
decorated rooms in the palace, only a fraction of which are open to the
public, as most are still being restored. The gardens surrounding the
palace are equally extravagant, entirely in keeping with the building
itself.

Cathedral St. Kilian
The fourth largest Romanesque
church in Germany, this cathedral was first begun in 1040, and is most
noteworthy for the various styles -Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and
Baroque - that have been incorporated into the one building.
