Marienberg Fortress
The Marienberg Fortress is the city's landmark that can be seen from afar and at the same time bears witness to more than 1000 years of history. With the Marienkirche, the fountain house from the Renaissance and the Fürstengarten (open April to October), the castle tour touches on the most important components of the fortress.
residence
The highlight of a guided tour through the old town is the visit to the former prince-bishop's residence, which should not be missed during a stay in Würzburg. Built at the beginning of the 18th century by Balthasar Neumann as one of the most important baroque palaces in Europe, the residence was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981. The magnificent staircase with the breathtaking frescoes by the Venetian Tiepolo, the Imperial Hall and the Hall of Mirrors are particularly impressive.
citizen hospital
The tour leads through one of the most beautiful wooden barrel cellars in Germany. Also take a look at our stainless steel cellar, the treasury and the oldest, authentic white wine in the world, the legendary 1540 Steinwein!
