Great Tour!

Victoria, was terrific and extremely knowledgeable and considerate guide. I'd recommend this tour to everyone who wants to really understand the real palace story.

Itinerary

  • First you will be visiting The court garden which was built in 1613–1617 by Maximilian I, Elector of Bavaria as an Italian style Renaissance garden. In the center of the garden is a pavilion for the goddess Diana, built in 1615 by Heinrich Schön the elder. A path leads from each of the eight arches. On the roof of the Diana pavilion is the replica of a sculpture of Bavaria by Hubert Gerhard, created in 1623. The original garden is in the Kaisersaal of the Residenz.

  • Then you will be visiting The Würzburger Residenz. Balthasar Neumann, court architect of the Bishop of Würzburg, was the principal architect of the Residence, which was commissioned by the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg Johann Philipp Franz von Schönborn and his brother Friedrich Carl von Schönborn in 1720, and completed in 1744.

  • The Schönborn Chapel is a necropolis of the Schönborn family . It is at the end of the north transept of the Würzburg Cathedral. The Work began in 1721 and in 1723, Balthasar Neumann took part in the project. The structure was ready in 1724. The chapel was consecrated in 1736.

  • You're next destination will be to the Würzburg Cathedral which is a Roman Catholic cathedral, dedicated to Saint Kilian. With an overall length of 103 metres, it is the fourth largest Romanesque church building in Germany, and a masterpiece of German architecture from the Salian period. The cathedral was heavily damaged by British bombs in March 1945 but rebuilt post-World War II.

  • Last but not the least is the tour to The Falkenhaus which is an iconic building in downtown Wurzburg with a bright yellow rococo facade. The building was severely damaged during World War II, before being reconstructed using old photos to match its historic appearance. This 18th-century guesthouse today contains the tourism office and the municipal library. Enter the building for up-to-date information about the city and its current events and activities.
