Located in the spacious Residenzplatz in Würzburg is the Residenz, the splendid palace of the Prince-Bishops and one of the finest secular Baroque buildings in Germany. It was built between 1720-44, and the most notable features of this important UNESCO World Heritage Site are its spectacular monumental staircase hall with its huge fresco by Tiepolo.Although heavily damaged in WWII, much of the building has now been restored to its former glory, a process that took over 42 years to complete. All told, some 40 rooms are open to visitors to tour. These include the exquisite White Hall with its Rococo stucco work, the sumptuously decorated Imperial Hall, and the Hall of Mirrors. You'll also have a chance to view the beautiful Court Church.
