A Residência de Würzburgo, de Wurtzburgo ou de Vurzburgo é um palácio da Alemanha localizado em Wurtzburgo , uma cidade situada na região administrativa da Baixa Francónia, estado da Baviera. Foi mandada construir pelo príncipe-bispo de Würzburg, Johann Philipp Franz von Schönborn, e pelo seu irmão Friedrich Carl von Schönborn, entre 1720 e 1744. Foi desenhada por vários dos principais arquitectos do barroco. Lucas von Hildebrandt e Maximilian von Welsch, representantes de proa do barroco da Áustria/Sul da Alemanha, estiveram envolvidos na sua construção, assim como Robert de Cotte e Germain Boffrand, proeminentes arquitectos do estilo francês. Balthasar Neumann, arquitecto da corte do bispo de Würzburg, foi o principal arquitecto da residência. O pintor veneziano Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, assistido pelo seu filho, Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, pintou afrescos no edifício. Entre as características mais espectaculares do interior encontram-se a grande escadaria, a capela e o grande salão. O palácio foi apelidado por Napoleão Bonaparte como "mais simpática Residência de prelados da Europa". A Residência foi severamente danificada durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, tendo as obras de restauro progredido a partir de 1945.

Marienkapelle, Würzburg

Wurtzburgo / Alemanha

The Marienkapelle is a Roman Catholic church located at the Unterer Markt of the town of Würzburg, Bavaria. 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. Today it is administered by the united parishes of the Würzburg Cathedral and the Kollegiatstift Neumünster. The chapel was heavily damaged by the Bombing of Würzburg in World War II and its interior was destroyed by flames. It was rebuilt in the 1950s and re-consecrated in 1962. 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 in-situ by copies. The chapel is also the place of burial of noted Baroque architect Balthasar Neumann.
