Wurzburg, Germany skyline: the 30 most iconic buildings and best views in Wurzburg

Excellent place to stand and people watch. The were having a fair so the town was overflowing with beautiful people. The promenade along the canal is perfect for a lovely stroll and a glass.

Great place for a pedestrian bridge. Watch the locks and dams move boats up and down the river and people from shore to shore. The statues and hanging baskets are a nice touch. The benches are an invitation to enjoy the views in all directions. This is a very historic structure. The bars and rearraunts at both ends are good also.

No tickets required for this in Wurzberg. Just be prepared to get the step count up, when you walk around add there is so many interesting places to visit.

This bridge is very popular for sipping wine with the Main river and Bineyard view. Even though it is nout that much architecturally decorated comapred to other bridge in Germany, the view is surreal.

Würzburg is such a charming city, and this bridge is truly the heart of that charm. Grabbing a glass (or two) of wine and watching the sunset here is an experience you shouldn’t miss. The atmosphere is amazing — people chatting, laughing, enjoying the moment together. It’s lively but relaxed, full of warmth and good energy. Absolutely beautiful and priceless experience! Pro tip: buy some olives from a nearby store and take that hedonism to the max...

This is the main attraction of Würzburg. In the evenings, many locals and tourists gather. Everyone tastes the famous local wine. Beautiful views of the city, the fortress and the river. You don't want to leave this bridge!

A beautiful historic spot right in the heart of the city! 🍷 The perfect location to enjoy a glass of wine while taking in the stunning view of Marienberg Fortress. Full of charm and atmosphere — truly unforgettable! ✨

The path to fortress is incredible and the view from top along with Main river view reminded me of Prague and the bridge resembling some what to Charles bridge. The red roofs and architecturally decorated view was splendid. I would definitely go again.

Nice castle on the hill. Amazing panoramic views to Wurcburg city. Nice calm walking trays. There is a bus no.9 going down the hill.

One of the best strolls in the area : crossing the bridge and leisurely walking up to the fortress in the midst of vineyards. Strongly recommended the castle tour and enjoying the view from the top gardens.

Worth a visit, even while renovations are underway. At the moment the main part of the fortress isn't accessible, but the museum is still well worth the ttrip. If using public transportation, take the #9 line to get as close to the main entrance as possible.

The Marienberg Fortress offers a fantastic view over Würzburg and looks beautiful from the outside. Unfortunately, there is currently a lot of construction work going on, so a large part of the area couldn’t be visited. We only stayed outside and didn’t go inside, so I can’t comment on the interior. The parking fees were quite high, so I would recommend walking up from the old town instead — it’s a nice way to enjoy the scenery!

The fortress was unfortunately under reconstruction. We were able to see only the main courtyard and walk along the fortress walls and around the fortress. Very beautiful views of Würzburg!

It's a shame that the interior is closed. The view is spectacular and the tourist bus comes up there regularly. The museum is worth a visit with lots of Riemenschneider carvings.

Gorgeous rococo. Twice a day English tours but the tour is not really necessary. The small von Wagner museum is worth a quick stop (it's free) and the church is small but pretty. There is a tourist town bus that stops outside the Residence during summer months. There are no online tickets sales or time slots.

The decorations were wonderful, and the optical illusions on the ceiling were so impressive that I could have mistaken them for real sculptors. I took a guided tour in English, and they explained every detail, which was very educational. Towards the end of the tour, there were photos of the building that were devastated during World War II, and I was impressed by how well it had been restored.

The Würzburg Residence is an absolute marvel—both architecturally and atmospherically. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it stuns with its grandeur even before you step inside. The perfectly symmetrical façade, elegant domes, and sweeping gardens immediately signal that you’ve arrived somewhere truly special. Inside, the lavish interiors are almost overwhelming in their beauty. The Baroque and Rococo details, particularly in the chapel and ceremonial rooms, are full of intricate marble, gold leaf, and awe-inspiring ceiling frescoes. You could stand there for hours just admiring the craftsmanship. But what truly sets this place apart is the Residence Garden. It’s a quiet sanctuary right in the heart of the city. The sculpted hedges, fountains, and graceful statues are all arranged with such harmony that walking through the paths feels like stepping into a painting. Whether you’re sitting in the shade of an old tree or admiring the palace from behind a leafy arch, there’s a calming elegance to every corner. This is not just a site for history or art lovers—it’s a peaceful escape where you can slow down, breathe, and enjoy beauty at your own pace.

We spent some time in the gardens of the Residenz which you can do at no cost. The place is neatly maintained and you can get stunning views of the huge baroque palace. There's also parking on the other side of the building as well as a free public toilet nearby.

The Würzburg Residence was stunning! Amazing architecture, gorgeous frescoes, and peaceful gardens. Totally worth a visit—history and beauty in one spot. Highly recommended!

This is a unesco world heritage site. Very well maintained especially given that it was damaged during the second world war. The key highlights are the glass room, ceiling art and the gardens. The total visit time would be 2-3 hrs. Do spend time in the gardens. The rooms can feel repetitive after a while with the same greek themed tapestries

From the inside to out in the Garden, this is well worth the money for the visit. They have a lift, so I was able to bring my 92yo father in to view this incredible display of art meets architecture. Absolutely amazing.

Some beautiful architecture at this free to enter cathedral after the over the top decor of the residence this was almost cathartic in its difference. The building was heavily damaged in the war but rebuilt superbly afterwards. Def worth a look

Everything in Wurzburg was badly damaged and burned after the allied bombings of 16 March 1945. This church was no exception and you can see this in the sober rebuilt interior with details incorporated from the old church

Würzburg Cathedral (Dom St. Kilian) is an important church situated at the end of Domstraße that we very much enjoyed visiting during a recent stay in the city. The church is conveniently located near other interesting attractions and is well worth making time to visit while sightseeing in Würzburg Historically, it seems there have been church buildings upon these grounds since at least the mid 8th-century. However, the building you see today has gone through numerous rebuilds starting with the 11th century Romanesque church, Gothic additions and Baroque makeovers in later centuries. Heavily damaged during WWII air raids, St. Kilian was redesigned and rebuilt between the 1960s to early 2000s, providing the present church building that you see today. The Romanesque Revival style facade and its two front towers dominate the skyline as you approach along Domstraße. As you enter you find a nearly 100 metre long centre nave and two side aisles with an interesting mix of traditional, historic and contemporary sculptures, altars, ceiling frescos and stained glass windows. There are important tombs and epitaphs, a nice cloister and interesting things to view with the church. Allow 15-20 minutes minimum to walk through and see everything.

St. Kilian's cathedral is a must-see site to visit if you're touring the beautiful Bavarian city of Würzburg. The Romanesque architecture is magnificent, and the Baroque decoration of the ceiling of the nave is breathtaking.

St Kilians Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church. One of the five largest Catholic church buildings in Germany. Beautiful.

Magnificant cathedral. Nice spaces. Free entrance

A beautiful, lively place in the city centre

Most of the museum was closed for renovations. We were able to see the Greek pottery and some Egyptian artifacts. The holdings are surprisingly good for what was once a private collection. Based on what we were able to see, I can say that if you've been through major museums such as the Louvre, the Vatican, the British museum, you can skip this because it is a small museum. But if you've never seen antiquities in person, you will marvel. There's no substitute for seeing in person. The best part is that the museum is free and the entrance is right there in the Residence complex- just a few steps away. The archeological museum is open in the morning and the paintings museum is open after lunch.

Very helpful and friendly staff. The antiquities collection is the better of the two collections in terms of quality. While the paintings and renaissance sculpture are good there are few masterpieces. The main exception being the Tilman Riemenschneider works. There's a staggered opening so the paintings are open to lunch time and the antiquities after.

Shame on all the museums with artifacts from other places. They don't belong in Germany... Return the Parthenon sculpture to Athens, where it belongs!

Impressive and fantastic.

Summer Break!!!!

Worth a visit, well recommended

Free entry! A great collection of art!!! What a hidden gem, I like it more than more famous museums. The Egyptian collection is small, unique and complete. Amazing place to visit.

Very atmospheric place. Beautiful both outside and inside. The climb will be tiring for older people. A must-see place!

Such a lovely place! 🌇 The café has an incredible view over the city — absolutely stunning! The food is delicious, fresh, and beautifully served. Perfect spot to relax and enjoy the moment. ☕✨

Place of local pilgrimage, quite high up opposite the old city. Nice views. But mainly a place for Marian devotion. Worth visiting if you like churches, places where piety is taken seriously, and perhaps want a short but steep walk up (and down!)

The architecture is amazing inside out. So many details in decoration. The church is on a hill and you need to go through stairs with the way of sorrows along the stairs. The view of the city from there is amazing.

Never seen architecture to take you up the hill to a church like that. A set of stair cases, statues and stories guide you up the hill. Make sure you are steady on your feet if you decide to take the stairs, there are many of them! Once on top a golden interior can be admired.

Beautiful little baroque church with a fantastic view of the city. The interior is exquisitely decorated, it could just use a very thorough cleaning to restore it to the gold and white splendour it must have had in earlier times. But even now a sight well worth the walk up the hill.

One of the most beautiful church I have visited across Germany. A pilgrimage site dating 17th century located on the parallel hillside of Marienberg fortress. Can be reached through a walk from Löwenbrücke. It can be tiring to walk all those steep stairs but the panoramic view of Würzburg that it provides is worth all the efforts. On the way up you cross 14 stations depicting the story of the cross carried by Jesus with beautifully carved sculptures. The forest behind the church is worth taking a walk. Autumn time is specially recommended as it becomes exceptionally beautiful.

This is a beautiful building at Marktplatz just next to Marienkapelle constructed in 1751. You'll see a charming facade that is considered one of the finest examples of Rococo in Southern Germany. Acquired by the city of Würzburg in 1939, today this is where you also find the Tourist Office on the G/F. Here you can find brochures and information about sightseeing around city and nearby wine country. There is also a fair amount of merchandise / souvenirs for those interested in purchasing something as a reminder of their visits to Würzburg.

The 18th-century Falkenhaus in Würzburg is one of this old Bavarian city's chief historic treasures. Its ornate Rococo façade, featuring three stylized gables, is very beautiful. The building, which now houses the city's tourist information center and a library, was completely rebuilt to its original 18th-century specifications after it was destroyed by bombing in World War II. The Falkenhaus is close to another must-see historic site in Würzburg, the Marienkapelle, making it easy to visit both in the same tour of the city.

A wonderful public library. Small selection of English language books. Laptop work spaces with free wifi.

great tourist information most friendly staff 😊

A lovely building with so much detail in the architecture and building. It is very impressive to look at and would definitely recommend going to see. It’s in a very central location with a bustling market next to it on a Sunday. Would recommend popping into the church attached as it is also impressive.

Peaceful and quiet. You can study do homework and relax. You can buy coffee if needed or bring in from outside.

could not get good photos because of the tents around, but a nice place to visit

Combination of gardens with views of bishop’s palace is an unforgettable eye candy for visitors. Free admission into the gardens.

Free of charge, beautiful, not crowded. This is a perfect place to relax, catching sunlight or hiding under the trees. If you like to have a picnic, you can do that in the nearby ring park with more empty lawns

This is a nicely designed and managed Court Garden at Residenz in Wurzburg that was designed and created in the second half of the 18th-century. It is free for the pubic to enter and is worth making time to see before or after visits to Residenz. We really enjoyed strolling the garden grounds for around 1 hour during our recent visit to Wurzburg.

Beautiful place in summer and winter alike. Free entrance and dog friendly.

Beautiful gardens outside the Wurzburg residence. Plenty of walking area around, with shrubs, roses, flowers, fountains and small ponds. Entry into the gardens is free, however, they are closed during the night time.

Beautiful gardens that were free to visit. Very clean and even being what Google calls “very busy” it was quiet and nice. Excellent parking that was very reasonable, where you could leave your car and easily walk on downtown.

Free access garden with amazing view on the UNESCO heritage site, Würzburg Residence.

Intersting collection, with a particular attention to people with disabilities. They have display of material and sculpture shapes to allow blind people to experience the work of the artists. The staff was super helpful. The cafe opened only at 2pm so I didn't get a chance to test it.

Very nice small museum with a fantastic collection of concrete & optical art. Worth a visit maybe even better with edibles.

Beautiful and important permanent collection and friendly staff in a renovated industrial building, recommended!

Nice building, friendly staff. I liked the art as well

Interesting kinetic art works. Mesmerising. Artist is a certified genius of his materials. Well worth a visit.

Magnificent!!!

Nice museum worth to visit

Not sure what’s this about but there is a water fountain that has a glass canopy on it, looks pretty interesting? 🤣

Interesting tour of the buildings, the history and the winery. The appoteke was just as interesting.

I’m not the wine expert but the staff took me through the tasting. We tasted several different wines freshly brewed from the bottles. We were surprised to find that the price was not expensive as we thought. Make sure your luggage has enough space for packing some bottles of wine back home 😀

Our last visit in ICU to see how a very good friend and work colleague was doing. Sadly due to her state we weren't able to but, the staff were really supportive & understanding, helpful and accomidating doing our wait. We appreciated friendly actions greatly.

The best!!! don't miss. I recommend. and don't forget to visit inside

I visited the small park with fountain, peaceful and nice

Famous town restaurant offer house branding excellent wines and foods . Recommend to check out

(Translated by Google) Worst service ever! Ms. Gabi (with i) Walter (without h) - both VERY important to the lady, is obviously looking forward to her retirement after 26 years. Of course, the supervisor is on vacation. When asked why they don't send brochures to our hotel: "We've been doing it this way for 26 years..." - namely NOTHING!!! Collection only at Turmgasse 11, where you can't get a parking space for miles. The arrogant people of Würzburg forget once again that they live off their surroundings. It's a shame that you can't send a review without a star. (Original) Schlechtester Service ever! Frau Gabi (mit i) Walter (ohne h) - beides der Dame SEHR wichtig, fiebert nach 26 Jahren offensichtlich Ihrer Rente entgegen. Vorgesetzter ist natürlich in Urlaub. Auf Nachfrage, warum sie keine Prospekte an unser Hotel versenden: "Das machen wir seit 26 Jahren so..." - nämlich NICHTS !!! Abholung nur in der Turmgasse 11, wo man kilometerweit keinen Parkplatz bekommt. Die überheblichen Würzburger vergessen einmal mehr, dass sie von ihrem Umland leben. Schade, dass man keine Bewertung ohne Stern absenden kann.

(Translated by Google) A nice experience for those who like to enjoy good wine. (Original) Una linda experiencia para aquellos que les gusta disfrutar un buen vino.

Neumünster is an important historical church located along Martinstraße in the city centre that we enjoyed visiting while in staying in the city last month. Historically, it is believed that the church grounds to be the location where the Frankish apostles named Kilian, Kolonat and Totnan were killed in 689. A monastery was originally situated at this location. It was replaced by a Romanesque church around 1060. In the 18th century, the church was then given the Baroque appearance which you see today. What you will see is an ornate church facade with multiple curved tiers, niches filled with statues along with other ornamentation. The interior includes stucco ornamentation of an otherwise white wall appearance. There are sculptures, elegant ceiling and inner dome frescos, colourful contemporary artworks lining the central nave walls with traditional works found in the side aisles. The apse and main altar are quite decorative, typical of Baroque churches. Alas, in the Kilian Crypt there is a Shrine with bones of the three Frankish apostles mentioned earlier. At the east side of the church there is a small cloister garden called Lusamgartlein that is worth a quick look around as well.

renovated to the 18th century original baroque style with magnificent paintings and altars. a must visit in your würzburg city tour.

Out of the many churches in Wurzbürg this is definitely one of the most impressive. A really interesting historic building with an impressive roof that is definitely worth seeing. There is a smaller church that is accessible below the main church, this was interesting to see and read about. There is a nice garden attached as well as a room we’re you can pray in silence. Definitely worth the visit

Beautiful church, right in the centre of Wurzburg - not difficult to find, and free access to get inside to look around.

Spectacular church, in some ways more moving than the Dom (cathedral).

Beautiful

Beautiful place to visit the art work is amazing

A late Baroque style residence palace built for the Prince-Bishops of Würzburg. It is surrounded with the impressive rococo gardens designed with majestic hedge-lined path, pavilions and flower beds. The tall hedges along with the decorations are the specialty. Spring till late summer is the best time to visit, since you can admire all the greenery and the beauty this courtyard garden has to offer. There is a big pond filled with different fishes, which are relaxing to watch. It is easy to reach with the public transport from Würzburg city, there is a direct bus connection. It is a good experience and worth the time you will spend during your visit here.

We needed to wait for more than an hour to get the next tour to visit the interiors but it went fast because the gardens are beautiful and you can sit to rest or have a bite/ drink if you want. Lovely place. The tour was in German but I got info in English to read as the tour went from room to room.

Beautiful building and gardens

It is amazing there how you can go to the gardens and look at ponds and statue's 😍you can also have a picnic there or draw amazing things but I have to say it was beautiful

Magnificent Rokoko palace and gardens for the upper echelons of the church to have their lusty getaways, courtesy of the blessed tithe. Nowadays is a perfect example of eco-friendly responsible gardening

A really good public garden which they have maintained nicely. There are places to sit and also to just sit by the pond and relax. Lots of places to play too.

Great little hidden treasure ..lovely gardens .Bring some snacks the ducks ,geese and some very large Carp fish will thank you for it ..This is the summer residence to the large Würzburg one.my only complaint here i was not able to go inside .first there is the standard same as Würzburg to store your items in the lockers before you proceed inside a fee in also required to tour the residence .But i was unable to do so ..was told by a very rude clerk that we would have to wait 45 minutes to next tour and only German was available which was not a problem .but was also asked rudely what was my purpose what did i want to see etc .He offered no explanation as to what we could see or what was offered and in the most condescending tone.he was very friendly when i entered and spoke German but when i was speaking my family in English than back to him attitude changed .It would be great have someone who might enjoy that job a bit more working with all types of people ,after all your in tourist spot .

Definitely worth visiting!! It's completely free of price for students, yet you get to see amazing artworks. I think the normal price is low as well!

Well curated. And good for praying and inner and outer exploration. Praying is the best thing for human being. Transcendence etc. Betet ohne unterlass. E ultreia.

Beautiful exhibition on the paintings by Ute Rakob. Most definitely worth a visit

Art of Till Riemenschneider

It is amazing for art lovers.

nice

Not the biggest museum/gallery I've ever been to, but certainly the best. Do pay it a visit.

It's a nice spot to start your visit of Würzberg if you arrive via train. The crane itself is only moderately interesting. The real value here is the view of the river, the stone bridge, and of the fortress.

Not sure what’s special about it but looks kinda cool

You definitely need to see such a beautiful place.

This location has one of the best views in the city.

The old Crane was an interesting sight to behold and the look is great at the river. It has a steak or beef restorante in the bottom part and pizza place in the upper. Both places are good especially the Pizza Place!

One of the spots to visit in Würzburg. Preferably with a glass of cold franconian white wine around sunset to enjoy the view of the main river and Feste Marienberg.

Beautiful location and good food and service ۔

Marian Chapel is a charming Late Gothic style building at Marktplatz in the city centre of Würzburg. It was constructed between 1377 and 1480, creating delightful ambience and appeal to an already attractive Market Square. It is well worth a few minutes viewing of the exterior and a quick walk through the church while sightseeing in the area. The main exterior is red and cream colour and features a nice portal niche entrance and single tall red tower. The interior is very much a Gothic configuration as well with a narrow tall nave with ceiling vaults, attractive stained glass windows, sculptures, tombs and altar paintings.

Online saw the outside, very unique design!

Very beautiful church, both inside and out. It has a very red and white exterior design; the inside is extremely tall, with beautiful glass work and interior.

An atmospheric place in the very center of the city

Maria Chapel, or Marienkapelle, in Würzburg, Germany, is a hidden gem steeped in history and architectural beauty. Nestled amidst the charming streets of Würzburg's Old Town, this medieval chapel captivates visitors with its Gothic elegance and tranquil ambiance. The exterior showcases intricate stone carvings and a stunning spire, drawing attention from passersby. Upon entering Marienkapelle, the atmosphere shifts to one of serenity and spiritual reflection. The interior boasts exquisite stained glass windows that filter ethereal light, creating a mesmerizing play of colors. The intricate details of the altars and religious artifacts add to the chapel's overall sense of historical significance. What sets Marienkapelle apart is its ability to evoke a sense of timelessness. Whether you appreciate medieval architecture, religious art, or seek a moment of quiet contemplation, this chapel offers a sanctuary from the bustling outside world. Visitors often find themselves enchanted by the delicate balance of grandeur and intimacy within its walls. Marienkapelle stands as not just a religious site but a living testament to the cultural richness of Würzburg. Its modest size belies the depth of its impact, making it a must-visit destination for those exploring the city's historical treasures.

It was built in the Gothic style in the 14th century. Despite its large size, it is a chapel by status as it does not have a parish. It was heavily damaged by the bombing in World War II, and its interior was destroyed by flames. It was rebuilt in the 1950s and re-consecrated in 1962. The original construction started in 1377, but it's not certain at what point in time the chapel was finished. The choir was reportedly consecrated in 1392. Burials at the site took place as early as 1411/2. By 1441 it must have been largely completed as Bishop Sigismund von Sachsen driven from the cathedral, used it as his church. That same year construction started on the tower, and the tower roof was added in 1479. Its two best known works of art, the sculptures of Adam and Eve by Tilman Riemenschneider, are today located in the Mainfränkisches Museum and have been replaced by copies (on South Portal). It's worth your time and effort to visit this church while you're visiting Würzburg.

Nice old Chapel as they call it. But it’s pretty big. Recently I started visiting the old church’s in my visits to European towns and I find it’s really interesting to see these gigantic architectural marvels.

Beautiful old building, the city hall stands right by Alte Mainbrucke. Great architecture, clock.

Würzburg's old Rathaus or city hall is one of the city's oldest buildings. The oldest part of the building dates from the 13th century. As with many of Würzburg's historic landmarks, the old Rathaus combines features of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles. It's an easy walk from St. Kilian's cathedral and the old Main bridge, or alte Brücke, and that makes it possible to see all these important historic features of Würzburg on one walking tour.

We visited the Wappensaal (hall of coat of arms) and an exhibition about the atom bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki 80 years ago.

I am very unhappy with the experience there, my husband went to change his drivers license from a spanish one to a german one and without telling him before they just took his license and now he can't drive for two months. When he complained that he needed to go to work and he needs to drive there more than 40 km, the response from the personal there was really bad, they just told him that he needed to leave, exact words "wir sind fertig" and weren't decent at all, I hope you hire more competent people in the driving department.

Whenever I go to buy garbage bags at the front office, the students who work there have the worst attitudes of anyone I have ever met! This is just the beginning of your working career! Imagine how they will be 20 years from now! Embarrassing attitudes, really.

My expierience here was great (though i did only use the service 4 times as of now). Very friendly and competent employees so far.

There is a small room by the right side of this facade that showed the distruction of Würzburg during WWll . Must see after seeing how magnificent this city is

A very nice museum not too large. It’s worth a visit for two things. The wood sculpture collection by Riemenschneider and Hermitage of Saint Bruno, the life’s work of an unnamed Carthusian monk. There is something to Riemenschneider’s sculpture, the hands and subtle details in expression. Lighting and where you stand to view the sculpture is also important. On Sunday it’s 1 euro!

One of the most significant art collections in Bavaria is found at the Museum für Franken on the fort Marienberg in Würzburg. The museum is one of the internationally renowned German museums as a result of the important works by Franconian painters and artists working for Franconia that are on display. Paintings, sculptures, and handmade items from Würzburg and Mainfranken dating back to the early days to the 19th century are on display in the 45 showrooms. It's really nice to see such kind employees, they were very kind to my children in all the rooms as they shared facts and told stories. It enhanced the memory of our trip.

The museum is a history spanning from the Middle Ages all the way to modern times. They've got a really diverse collection with paintings, sculptures, and cool handicrafts. Worth a visit if you're curious about the area's past.

Super museum to discover the religious sculpture, some paintings, decorative art and a lot of more artefacts. Highly recommended

Brilliant museum, made special by its collection of wood and stone figures by local man, Tillman Riemenschneider. If you can, walk up through the vineyards, it's beautiful.

Quite a lot to see. Worth the five euro price

Good museum with interesting things, the main information about the rooms are in English but not on the items in the museums. But try and find the iPads that are around they are in German and English and have some good content to give you more info on some of the items.

It’s a public exhibition with self viewing. Interesting to learn how humble he was and how he persisted with his education.

As a radiologist (and therefore a nerd) I thought it was so cool. This is on the university campus. We went when school was likely not in session, and in the evening. You legitimately just walk up this nondescript staircase (although there are small flags and a placard) and let yourself in. We didn't see anyone else while we were there. There are a couple cool short informational videos and a small exhibit. And - you can see his actual lab equipment. Nerd heaven. It's not large, you likely won't need more than 30 minutes.

This University of Würzburg building has a nice memorial to physicist Wilhelm Röntgen who discovered x-rays and their practical use. The museum-like memorial is in a long hallway with a vestibule and a lobby at the ends. In addition there are two rooms, one locked containing his original laboratory and the other open with a display of period scientific instruments. The hallway has quite a bit of biographical information presented in a timeline format. The display includes the Nobel Prize certificate awarded to Röntgen.

A must visit place for anyone who is into sciences. X rays were discovered here and the lab is viewable through a glass window

Very interesting exposition that answers the most important question - how was the x-ray discovered. We were let in on Saturday without having to call in advance - perhaps the opening hours on Google are not up to date.

If you're a student in the physical sciences, you should definitely visit and spend 20-30 minutes here.

Being a science nerd, I quite enjoyed the visit.

The Four-Pipe Fountain is situated just across from Grafeneckart in a heavy pedestrian traffic area. Very likely you will pass by this area in route to the Old Main Bridge and can have a look at the fountain on the way. Historically there was a water well at this location as early as the Middle Ages. The fountain monument you see today dates to the 18th century and is Baroque in architectural form. What you see is a obelisk with a bronze coat of arms and topped by the Patron Saint of Fraconia. At the base of the obelisk are female figures representing (wisdom, temperance, justice & strength), below which are for dolphins from which water spills from their mouths into a ground level basin. It is an ornate fountain that is well worth viewing for a couple of minutes when sightseeing in this area of Würzburg.

The Four Tubes Fountain is one of the charming historical landmarks in Würzburg. It’s a pleasant spot to pause and take in the city’s atmosphere. Sitting at one of the nearby outdoor cafés with a coffee, you can enjoy both the view of the fountain and the lively ambience around it.

Nice landmark fountain.

We bought 4 icecreams and after sitting 15 min at the table, absolutely unfriendly waitor, after asking if I will order anything else, said: "You occupied this table." Hej, owners of this business, wake up! 13 Euro is not enough to sit more than 15 min at your street table? What a shame...

Nice square and a very good meeting place next to the Old Bridge over the Main river. Places to start you journey to: the Residenz Würzburg, the Dome and the city center's old streets with all kinds of shopping stores. You can spend a nice time on the bridge next to the Fountain having a glass of wine from the nearby caffe...

Great meeting point for you and your friends - especially if you stay at different hotels - to go on exploring the city or shopping. Great Caffè places around and lots of sweets.

Beautiful place to relax and enjoy, maybe a glass of wine!

Very well organized lucky for us. We have Ulysses, who was there to help tell us everything English cause nothing was in English. Basically it’s a very interesting museum and lucky for us. We got to see the synagogue definitely worth your time only negative I can say is I wish everything-also had information in English also they only take cash only

(Translated by Google) We were warmly welcomed by two very committed employees who took a lot of time and gave us a detailed introduction to the exhibition. The exhibition itself is very interesting with a regional reference and is easy to understand and clearly presented. We learned a lot! At the end we were allowed to visit the synagogue. The museum is an absolute recommendation and worth a visit. Thank you! :-) (Original) Wir wurden herzlich von zwei sehr engagierten Mitarbeiterinnen empfangen, die sich viel Zeit genommen haben und uns einen ausführlichen Einstieg in die Ausstellung gegeben haben. Die Ausstellung selbst ist sehr interessant mit regionalem Bezug und gut verständlich und anschaulich aufbereitet. Wir haben viel gelernt! Am Ende durften wir noch die Synagoge besichtigen. Das Museum ist eine absolute Empfehlung und einen Besuch wert. Vielen Dank! :-)

(Translated by Google) We (3 adults) were at the Jewish Museum here in Würzburg today (April 10th, 2025). It consists of two parts: the Orthodox synagogue and the museum. There are also rooms for seminars, training and administration. We had already been to various synagogues several times - so we already knew a bit about them. The museum and the synagogue are heavily secured from the outside (it is unacceptable that my Jewish fellow citizens have to protect themselves because they are threatened by criminal elements. Anyone who does something like that must be permanently removed from the Federal Republic) When we got inside we were greeted warmly. In front of us was a class (around 10th grade) who were taking a tour. We asked if we could join the class. That didn't work - but the friendly Mrs. R. gave a tour just for the three of us - super nice. Thanks again for that. Since it's about Jewish life and traditions, you have to get involved with it - that means: Even though we as Christians have inherited a lot from our Jewish brothers, their traditions are still completely foreign to us. There is and was a lot that I don't understand about it - that means there is still a lot to learn. Or to put it another way: You don't just scurry through the exhibition quickly and that's it. That's difficult stuff. The history of the progroms anyway - but everything else isn't trivial to understand either. In any case, we will remember the visit very positively. I would plan around 2 hours+. Parts of the basement were currently being renovated - but it still takes 2 hours. (Original) Wir(3 Erwachsene) waren heute (10.04.2025) im jüdischen Museum hier in Würzburg. Es besteht aus zwei Teilen: Die orthodoxe Synagoge und das Museum. Daneben gibt es noch Räumlichkeiten für Seminare, Schulungen und Verwaltung. Wir waren schon mehrmals in diversen Synagogen - kannten uns also schon ein bißchen aus. Von außen ist das Museum und die Synagoge schwer gesichert(es ist inakzeptabel, dass meine jüdischen Mitbürger sich schützen müssen, weil sie von kriminellen Elemente bedroht werden. Wer so etwas macht muß nachhaltig aus der Bundesrepublik entfernt werden) Also wir dann drinnen waren wurden wir freundlich begrüßt. Vor uns war eine Klasse (so ca. 10. Jahrgangsstufe) die gerade eine Führung mitmachte. Wir haben gefragt, ob wir uns der Klasse anschließen können. Das ging nicht - aber die freundliche Frau R. hat dann nur für uns drei eine Führung gemacht - super nett. Danke nochmals dafür. Da es sich um jüdisches Leben und Traditionen handelt muss man sich schon darauf einlassen - will sagen: Trotzdem wir als Christen viel von unseren jüdischen Brüdern geerbt haben, so sind uns deren Traditionen dennoch völlig fremd. Es gibt und gab viel, was ich daran nicht verstehe - dass heißt: Es gibt noch viel zu lernen. Oder anders gesagt: Da huscht man nicht schnell durch die Ausstellung und das war's. Das ist schwere Kost. Die Geschichte der Progrome sowieso - aber auch alles andere ist nicht trivial zu verstehen. Jedenfalls werden wir den Besuch sehr positiv in Erinnerung behalten. So 2 Stunden+ würde ich mal einplanen. Im Keller waren Teile gerade in Renovierung - aber 2 Stunden braucht man trotzdem.

(Translated by Google) A truly impressive encounter with the history and suffering of German Jewry, with numerous exhibits and very friendly staff. Everything is very well-maintained and devoid of digital gimmicks, but instead offers authentic information about Jewish life in Lower Franconia and Würzburg. (Original) Eine sehr beeindruckende Begegnung mit der Historie und dem Leidensweg des deutschen Judentums mit zahlreichen Exponaten und sehr freundlichem Personal. Alles sehr gepflegt und kein digitaler Schnick-Schnack, dafür authentische Informationen über das jüdische Leben in Unterfranken und Würzburg.

(Translated by Google) A museum absolutely worth seeing, which presents the history of the Jewish community in an interesting and appealing way (Original) Ein absolut sehenswertes Museum, das die Geschichte der jüdischen Gemeinde interessant und ansprechend darstellt

(Translated by Google) Impressive exhibition, very informative and friendly staff. (Original) Beeindrückende Ausstellung sehr informatives und freundliches Personal.

(Translated by Google) Very friendly museum staff. Don't let the completely unpleasant and incompetent doormen put you off. (Original) Sehr sympathische Museumsangestellte. Von den absolut unsympathischen und unfähigen Pförtnern sollte man sich nicht abschrecken lassen.

This is the charming 55-metre tall tower that forms part of Rathaus across from the Vierröhren fountain. It is Romanesque in architectural style and makes for an interesting building to see while sightseeing in the area. In addition to have a bell that rings on the hour, you'll see a sundial and clock face on the tower facade along with a lovely green tree originally painted by Alexander Müller (1597) and restored in 1914 that is quite attractive. I really liked viewing Grafeneckart.

Historical building on the spot of Wurzburg.. Medieval story was made..

(Translated by Google) Chic, eye-catching, medieval tower. He just looks romantic and good. It is probably the oldest part of the town hall. At the bottom of the building is the Ratskeller and a memorial room for the destruction in the Second World War. When you visit Würzburg you will pass this building complex at some point. The 55 meter high Romanesque tower can be seen from afar. As such, the building is not open for tours. About the story: The building was first mentioned as a medieval family tower in 1180 as curia Billungi. The first owners, Heinrich Billung and his son Count Eckhart de Foro, were both mayors of Würzburg, i.e. the highest judges appointed by the city's ruler, the bishop. Eckhard was also deputy to the burgrave, the city's most important episcopal representative. Because of his high reputation, he was also called “Count”. The “Grafeneckart” is named after him: the farm of “Count” Eckard. This building was not only a residential building, but also the official residence of the city mayor. The count was murdered in 1200 and the building changed hands a few times. On March 5, 1316 it was sold to the mayors Arnold vom Sandhof and Ecko von Steren for 370 pounds heller. In 1453 the council decided to build a tower over the southeast edge of the Grafeneckart, which finally took place between 1453 and 1456. The tower was equipped with a fire and storm bell and the clock was installed. In the following centuries, the building was continually expanded and elevated into a city castle. This was intended to protect the mayor and his council from attacks and robberies. The council meetings that had previously been held in the “Hof zur Sturmglocke” were moved to Grafeneckart. The complex was badly damaged in the Second World War and was rebuilt and reconstructed over the years until 2017. (Original) Schicker, auffälliger, mittelalterlicher Turm. Er schaut einfach romantisch und gut aus. Es ist wohl der älteste Teil des Rathauses. Unten in dem Gebäude befindet sich der Ratskeller und ein Erinnerungsraumm, an die Zerstörung im zweiten Weltkrieg. Bei einem Besuch in Würzburg kommt man irgendwann an diesem Gebäudekomplex vorbei. Der 55 Meter hohe romanische Turm ist schon von weitem erkennbar. Das Gebäude ist als solches nicht für Besichtigungen geöffnet. Zur Geschichte: Das Gebäude wurde als mittelalterlicher Geschlechterturm erstmals 1180 als curia Billungi erwähnt. Die ersten Besitzer, Heinrich Billung und sein Sohn Graf Eckhart de Foro, waren beide Schultheißen von Würzburg, d.h. die vom Stadtherren, dem Bischof, eingesetzten höchsten Richter. Eckhard war zudem Stellvertreter des Burggrafen, des wichtigsten bischöflichen Vertreters der Stadt. Aufgrund seines hohen Ansehens nannte man ihn auch „Graf“. Nach ihm ist der „Grafeneckart“ benannt: der Hof des „Grafen“ Eckard. Dieses Gebäude war damit nicht nur ein Wohnbau, sondern auch Amtssitz des Stadtschultheißen. Der Graf wurde 1200 ermordet und das Gebäude wechselte ein paar mal seinen Besitzer. Am 5. März 1316 wurde es für 370 Pfund Heller an die Bürgermeister Arnold vom Sandhof und Ecko von Steren verkauft. Im Jahr 1453 beschloss der Rat die Erbauung eines Turmes über der Südostkante des Grafeneckart, was schließlich in den Jahren zwischen 1453 und 1456 erfolgte. Der Turm wurde mit einer Feuer- und Sturmglocke versehen und die Uhr eingebaut. In den folgenden Jahrhunderten wurde das Gebäude beständig zu einer Stadtburg erweitert und erhöht. Diese sollte den Bürgermeister und seinen Rat vor Anschlägen und Überfällen schützen. Die Ratsversammlungen, die zuvor im „Hof zur Sturmglocke” abgehalten worden waren, wurden in den Grafeneckart verlegt. Der Komplex wurde im zweiten Weltkrieg stark beschädigt und über die Jahre bis 2017 wieder aufgebaut und rekonstuiert.

(Translated by Google) The old town hall and the street take their name from Count Eckart, who once owned the building. Very pragmatic, these Würzburgers (see also the Vierröhrenbrunnen fountain). Very beautiful to look at. (Original) Das alte Rathaus und die Straße haben ihren Namen vom Grafen Eckart, dem das Gebäude mal gehört hat. Sehr pragmatisch, diese Würzburger (siehe auch Vierröhrenbrunnen). Sehr schön anzusehen.

(Translated by Google) The Old Town Hall of Würzburg, with its 13th-century Grafeneckart Tower, was originally a residence and watchtower. In the 15th century, it became the seat of the city council and a political symbol of the city. Severely damaged in 1945, it was rebuilt after the war. Today, it combines municipal and cultural functions and is one of Würzburg's most iconic landmarks. Its two clocks on the façade are particularly striking. (Original) El Altes Rathaus de Wurzburgo, con su torre Grafeneckart del siglo XIII, fue primero residencia y torre de vigilancia. En el siglo XV se convirtió en sede del concejo municipal y símbolo político de la ciudad. Gravemente dañado en 1945, fue reconstruido tras la guerra. Hoy combina funciones municipales y culturales y es uno de los lugares más emblemáticos de Wurzburgo. Destacan sus dos relojes en la fachada.

Oldest surviving section of Rathaus complex has been a fortified family tower when it was acquired by city council in 1316 to be used for city council needs. First thing to notice when you stroll from Alte Mainbrucke into old town.

(Translated by Google) I'm thrilled and I really liked everything 👍😎👍. The tower (and the whole building) is very interesting 👍, beautiful history 👍, beautiful architecture 👍. The tower is very high (approx. 50 meters), it is the oldest part of the Würzburg town hall. Everything very well maintained 👍. Definitely worth seeing.... five strong stars from me straight away ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐... (Original) Ich bin begeistert und alles hat mir sehr gefallen 👍😎👍. Der Turm ( und das ganze Gebäude) ist sehr interessant 👍, schöne Geschichte 👍, schöne Architektur 👍. Der Turm ist ganz hoch (ca.50 Meter), er ist der älteste Teil des Würzburger Rathaus. Alles sehr gut gepflegt 👍. Auf jeden Fall sehenswert.... von mir sofort fünf starke Sterne ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐...

It is a very large car park located opposite the residence. When you enter you must look for an available place yourself, the number of available places is not communicated upon arrival. There are two payment terminals located along the road at each corner of the car park.

Open air parking lot, perfect when you visit the residence and gardens.

Big parking near the Rezidenz Palace and Gardens. It costs 2 euros per hour during the first two hours and after that 1.5 Euros/hour.

Useful but the past points are not obvious.

even though it was friday afternoon we immediately got a space and it was free

Central but not many free spots.

Super

Very nice collection, informative and interesting and great for kids, the staff is very friendly and helpful too. Definitely worth a visit.

Education is good. And learning what you can relate with is even better

Cool

Great great collections

(Translated by Google) The museum is extremely interesting and houses a huge collection of various minerals and rocks. In addition, it is really lovingly and elaborately designed. It is worth seeing not only for future geographers and geologists, but also for people who have no prior knowledge. It's even great for younger children who can't read yet, for example, because it's fun to just look at everything and marvel at it. (Original) Das Museum ist äußerst interessant und beherbergt eine riesige Sammlung verschiedenster Minerale und Gesteine. Zudem ist es wirklich liebevoll und aufwendig gestaltet. Es ist nicht nur für zukünftige Geographen und Geologen sehenswert, sondern auch für Leute die keinerlei Vorkenntnisse besitzen. Selbst für kleinere Kinder, die beispielsweise noch nicht lesen können, ist es toll, da es auch Spaß macht sich alles einfach nur anzusehen und zu bestaunen.

History

(Translated by Google) As part of a guided tour we came to the Machikuli tower and its battlements. Although there was a lot of interest and crowds, we still learned some interesting information. The corridors are well developed, but not at ground level and sometimes quite sloping. Surefootedness and sturdy shoes are required. Oh yes and it is very cool in here, especially in summer. (So ​​plan a jacket) (Original) Im Rahmen einer Führung kamen wir in den Maschikuliturm und seine Wehrgänge. Obwohl das Interesse und der Andrang groß waren haben wir trotzdem einige interessante Informationen erfahren. Die Gänge sind gut ausgebaut, aber nicht ebenerdig und teils recht abschüssig. Trittsicherheit und feste Schuhe vorausgesetzt. Ach ja und vor allem im Sommer ist es hier drin sehr kühl. (Also Jacke einplanen)

(Translated by Google) The Machikuli Tower, a unique experience. Unfortunately only open on some public holidays, but fair prices (up to 18 free, adults €4, reduced €3) and a unique historical experience. Here you get insights into otherwise closed and hidden walls, rounded off by a wall passage, up to the fortress. Here you can take a leisurely tour and enjoy the special view. It was my first time here, but definitely not the last time. Highest recommendation!!! (Original) Der Maschikuliturm, ein einmaliges Erlebnis. Leider nur an manchen gesetzlichen Feiertagen geöffnet, dafür aber faire Preise (Bis 18 kostenfrei, Erwachsen 4€ ermäßigt 3€) und ein einmaliges historisches Erlebnis. Hier bekommt man Einblicke in sonst geschlossene und verborgene Gemäuer, abgerundet durch einen Mauergang, hinauf zur Festung. Hier kann man gemütlich noch einen Rundgang antreten und den besonderen Ausblick genießen. Ich war das erste mal hier, aber bestimmt nicht das letzte mal. Höchste Empfehlung!!!

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, it's permanently closed, and the next opening, on October 3rd, will surely be completely overcrowded... (Original) Leider dauerhaft geschlossen und die nächste Öffnung nur am 3.10. wird sicherlich auf völlig überfüllt sein…

(Translated by Google) Lots of shopping opportunities are very busy. (Original) Sehr belebt viele Einkaufsmögkichkeiten.

(Translated by Google) Good (Original) Gut
