This is a beautfiul Gothic church in downtown Wuerzburg. Definitely include it in your tour of the city. It is not huge in scale but is intense in what it packs in. This is one of my favorite places in the city. More

We always love that the churches are mostly free and so beautiful. Although Marienkapelle is old, it has a modern feel. It may be small but packs a punch and is worth seeing. There are sculptures at either end of the chapel of the Anunciation and Adam and Eve. A pretty church. More
