Residenz Würzburg: Palace Residenz Würzburg: Palace No Data

Description


Palace built at the beginning of the 18th century for the Prince Bishops to reflect their power and status, and so they could move back down from the Marienberg Fortress and into the city centre. The building is one of the finest Rococo palaces in Europe and reflects the money and power of the Würzburg Prince-Bishops. Large parts of the palace were destroyed in the 16th March 1945 bombing raid, but over the following near 70 years the palace has been restored to how it would have looked when it was first complete. The palace is open to walk around on a marked route or you can join a guided tour to understand more about the building and some of the contents. There are regular tours in German plus at least two tours a day in English.
