Würzburg is in Bayern, in the south, the country's industrial powerhouse around Munich and Stuttgart with the Alps and the Black Forest on the doorstep; winters bring snow and the occasional warm Föhn wind, summers are the warmest in Germany, and living costs are the highest. For directions in Würzburg, Google Maps and the DB Navigator app cover public transport times and walking routes, and most towns have well-marked cycle lanes. Local transport tickets must be bought or validated before boarding, and parking near busy streets is limited and metered.

The risk of missing this baroque masterpiece is surprisingly high, as weirdly it isn't adequately marked. The entrace is next to the court garden

Two adults visited the Würzburg Residenz Hofkirche midday on a Saturday in the middle of June and very much enjoyed the visit. The church interior is richly decorated and worth a visit.

Completed in 1743 this is a masterpiece of German rococo religious architecture. It was primarily designed by Balthasar Neunann who used curving walls and three oval domed vaults to create a spectacular effect. The stucco and stucco figures were made by Antonio Bossi and the side altar paintings by Venetian painter Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, both involved in the decoration of the palace too

The Court Church of the Most Holy Trinity is a small but ornate Baroque church at the Residenz complex that can be visited free during Residenz opening hours The church was designed by Residenz architect Balhasar Neumann and constructed between 1732-43. Within you will find an elaborate display of the Baroque with every inch seemingly filled with gilding, stucco, marble columns, colourful fresco. The interior oozes with decadence that some may find too rich, while others will be dazzled. It is a beautiful church hall, free to enter and view. Worth the 10 extra minutes of your time after seeing the main Residenz complex.

Simply the most beautiful chapel I have seen in my life. Käppele, on the other side of the river is also amazing, but the Hofkirche is second to none. Images do not do justice, you must go inside and take a look. I can’t imagine how beautiful the masses here must have been.

Entrance round the side, not the front. Looks nothing extra special from outside. Inside, it is a single space. A riot of Baroque, ornamentation, a church interior after a vision from The Book of Revelations. More to do with exuberance than piety. Gothic austerity this isn't. Free to get into.

dated to the 1730's baroque style. very beautiful with granite and gold details. the paintings also are impressive. the reconstruction work after the damage is amazing.

If you are in Wurzburg, just go there. This is a gem. Baroque at its best. Small chapel in the right wing is gorgeous. Parking is available almost at the entrance.
