    The Würzburg Residence is rightly on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The garden can be visited free of charge. The Hofkirche is closed, the residence costs 9 euros for adults (without a tour).

      Würzburg Residence
      The Würzburg Residence and the UNESCO World Heritage List
      The Würzburg Residence, including the Court Garden and Residence Square, was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1981. This entails the obligation to "pursue a general policy aimed at giving cultural and natural heritage a function in public life and to include the protection of this heritage in exhaustive planning." The justification for the inclusion of the Würzburg Residence states: "Equipped between 1740 and 1770 and provided with magnificent gardens between 1765 and 1780, the Würzburg Residence is considered the most unified and extraordinary of all baroque palaces and exemplifies one of the most brilliant royal courts in Europe. It is unique in its originality, its ambitious building program and the international composition of the construction office." Text / Source: Residenz-Würzburg residenz-wuerzburg.de

        The former residence of the Würzburg prince-bishops, built from 1720 to 1744 in the shell and fully equipped by 1780, is one of the most important baroque palace complexes in Europe and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
