The Baroque castle Werneck was built in 1733 - 1745 by Balthasar Neumann on behalf of the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg Friedrich-Karl von Schönborn. Today it is used as an orthopedic hospital. The palace park is open to the public and offers a walk through two important eras of garden art. The terrace complexes in the front area of the castle with their magnificent, ornamental flower beds date from the Baroque period. The small lake in the connection forms the transition to the park. After 1861, the original pheasant garden was transformed into a landscape park based on the English model. It invites you to take a walk and always opens up new views of the castle and garden.

The palace chapel is a jewel among Balthasar Neumann's church buildings. Since the restoration in 2006, the interior has returned to its original condition. The church occupies the entire northeastern pavilion. It is the only room that has been preserved, including its furnishings from the time of the Prince-Bishops.
The shell was completed in 1744. The rich stucco work with the numerous angel heads was created by the Würzburg court plasterer Antonio Bossi. The main altarpiece by the Würzburg court painter Oswald Onghers represents the foundation of the Portiunkula indulgence.

Impressive baroque palace building by the Würzburg prince-bishops, the architect was none other than Balthasar Neumann. The building has served as a clinic for various medical institutions since the 19th century.
