City Introduction

Würzburg is a city in the state of Bavaria, located along the Main River. It is a city with a rich history, which has been defined not least by the prince-bishops who ruled Würzburg over the centuries. Their buildings can still be enjoyed, even though they had to be rebuilt after World War II, when Allied bombs destroyed virtually all buildings in the center of Würzburg.

There are many interesting sights in the center of Würzburg, which is located in the area around the Marktplatz square. On the Marktplatz itself you can see the rococo house Haus zum Falken and the Marienkapelle church. Close by, you can see the city’s town hall, the Neumünster church and Würzburg’s large Romanesque cathedral, which for centuries was the burial church for the city’s prince-bishops. You can also go to the baroque hospital Juliusspital from the 16th century.

The most famous building in the city is the Würzburger Residenz, which was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1981. The Würzburger Residenz is a large baroque castle that was built in the late 18th century and was the residence of the prince-bishops of the city. The castle is lavishly furnished with magnificent rooms and halls such as the Kaisersaal, Spiegelkabinett, Treppenhaus and Hofkirche. By the castle is the beautiful park, Hofgarten.

It is also beautiful along the river Main, where you can go for a walk and enjoy the view of the bridge Alte Mainbrücke, which was built 1473-1543 as a replacement for an earlier bridge. In the 18th century, statues of saints and historically important people were placed on the bridge. From here you can also see the fortress Marienberg, which is located on the west side of the Main high above Würzburg with a fantastic view of the city.
