The Würzburg Residence in Würzburg, Germany, is an impressive UNESCO World Heritage site. It was built by the Prince-Bishops of Würzburg over the course of the 18th century, to be their grand new residence. One of the main architects was Balthasar Neumann, who oversaw much of the construction and decoration. These days, despite suffering heavy damage during World War Two, the Residence is considered to be an iconic masterpiece of Baroque and Rococo art and architecture. Let's check it out!
