The Residence Palace –<br />

A UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site<br />

Balthasar Neumann, Europe’s greatest architect of the Baroque<br />

era, built the Residence Palace. This former home of the prince<br />

bishops of Würzburg is nicknamed “the castle above all castles”.<br />

The grand staircase of the Residence Palace is deemed the most<br />

beautiful staircase in the world. Other renowned artists whose<br />

names are inextricably linked to this lovely city on the Main River<br />

are Tilman Riemenschneider and Giovanni Battista Tiepolo.<br />

Almost Like Hollywood But Real:<br />

The Towers Of Würzburg<br />

Würzburg is not a fake movie backdrop but a real, vibrant city.<br />

The view from the Fortress Marienberg across the many towers<br />

rising above the city – the cathedral, the Marienkapelle, the<br />

town hall, and the Käppele – is breathtaking and unforgettable.<br />

Hollywood was so impressed by the historical<br />

ambiance of the city; they filmed “The Three<br />

Musketeers” here in 2010, featuring Milla<br />

Jovovich, Orlando Bloom, and Christoph Waltz.<br />
