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 https://www.residenz-wuerzburg.de/

Inaccessible until 2032 due to construction work (except possibly with a guided tour)

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. Source: Wikipedia

Be sure to go to the castle gardens and then have a delicious ice cream at Eis Stephan

Nice destination from Würzburg. There are many quiet and shady spots in the park.

Today it is primarily used as a museum. The palace is one of the main works of southern German baroque and is to be regarded as one of the most important residential buildings of the late baroque period in a European context, putting it in a row with Schönbrunn in Vienna and the Palace of Versailles near Paris.

The magnificent room sequence of vestibule, garden hall, staircase and white hall culminates in the Kaisersaal. The architect, Balthasar Neumann, highlighted the hall with its twenty half-columns, almost 9 meters high, made of reddish stucco marble and the large oval dome as the representative highlight of the Würzburg Residence. The Imperial Hall, the shell of which was already finished in 1741, was not furnished until 1749-1753 under Prince-Bishop Carl Philipp von Greiffenclau. In the three ceiling frescoes by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo from 1751/52, the political history of the diocese of Würzburg within the empire at the time of Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa is brilliantly reflected. The supraports (= paintings above the doors) are by Tiepolo's son Giovanni Domenico and show exemplary scenes from the life of ancient emperors. Antonio Bossi created the four life-size stucco figures in the wall niches on the narrow sides, representing Neptune, Juno, Flora and Apollo. https://www.residenz-wuerzburg.de/deutsch/residenz/kaisers.htm
