    The summer palace of the Würzburg prince-bishops, built between 1680 and 1682, was enlarged in 1753 by Balthasar Neumann. During the summer months from 1806 to 1814 the castle was inhabited by Grand Duke Ferdinand of Tuscany, who resided in Würzburg during this time.

    The most famous part of the Veitshöchheim palace complex is the courtyard garden. And of course not without reason. 300 sculptures alone can be admired here. It's like an 18th century art exhibition. All themes that were modern at the time found their place between countless hedges: stone guardians, figures from Greek legends, Roman warriors, hunting scenes, fantasy figures and even Far Eastern motifs from Buddhist mythology were created by some of the best artists of their time.
