Of course we know the Rococo garden and of course the Main Franconia halls with the big events, like the "Carnival in Franconia". Quite independently, however, the place itself with its charming old town, the beautiful Main promenade and not to forget the gastronomy is always worth a visit!

Veitshöchheim is a municipality in the Lower Franconian district of Würzburg and is located on the Main. The town is a former summer residence of the Prince-Bishops of Würzburg, later of the Kings of Bavaria. The palace complex with its Rococo garden is well-known.

Veitshöchheim was first mentioned in 779. The parish of Veitshöchheim was donated to the monastery of St. Stephan in 1097 by the Würzburg bishop Emehard.

Veitshöchheim Palace was built between 1680 and 1682 under Prince-Bishop Peter Philipp von Dernbach and expanded between 1749 and 1753 by Balthasar Neumann. The construction of the court garden, which belongs to the palace, began in 1702. The parish church of St. Vitus, which still exists today, was consecrated in 1691, and the Veitshöchheim synagogue was built between 1727 and 1730.

In 1814, the town finally fell to the state of Bavaria, after only nine years earlier it had become part of the Grand Duchy of Würzburg. The municipality was formed in its current form in the course of the Bavarian administrative reforms in 1818. Veitshöchheim train station with the royal pavilion was built in 1853 and 1854 under Maximilian II of Bavaria.
