Würzburg Residence with the Court Gardens and Residence Squar

This magnificent Baroque palace – one of the largest and most beautiful in Germany  and surrounded by wonderful gardens – was created under the patronage of the prince-bishops Lothar Franz and Friedrich Carl von Schönborn. It was built and decorated in the 18th century by an international team of architects, painters (including Tiepolo), sculptors and stucco-workers, led by Balthasar Neumann.
