The only drawback on this museum is that you can't take photos inside. The Residenz was in reality a Palace for the Prince Bishops of the time. I have seen painted ceilings in many palaces but this one is almost 3 D at the staircase. Depending on where you are the scene moves and enlarges or gets smaller. It was heavily damaged in the war but was put back together. It is a must see if you are in the town.

The Residenz in Wurzburg is a definite must see attraction when in Bavaria. The house of the prince-bishops during the age of enlightenment, the palace is ornate as it is massive. Walking through the entry hall and grand staircases up to the main receiving room is one of the most impressive entrances I've ever seen. Be advised that photography inside the palace is not allowed (gotta sell those guide books afterall!)

Touring this Residenz was amazing. The staircase inside the front doors is incredible. The ceiling fresco could keep your attention for hours. The details and story of the art is hard to describe in words. Even pictures wouldn't truly do it justice. The other rooms are just as impressive. The mirror room is priceless. A walk in the rose garden is extremely romantic.

Stunning. Dazzling. Spectacular. What words can you use to describe this place? It is absolutely awesome. Each room is different and spectacular in its own way, but the showstopper is the impressive grand staircase followed by the Imperial Hall, followed by the Mirror Cabinet, followed by..... You get the idea. You have to check your back pack upon entry, so bring a 1 euro or 2 euro coin to feed the machine--you get the money back when you open the locker. This is a must-see in Wurzburg. Why else would you be here?

We were stunned by the beauty of this place both indoors and outdoors. The gardens are idyllic and peaceful. The rooms breathtaking. The amount work that went to refurbish thisplace after WW2 is astounding. Must see! Arrive early to avoid the tour buses.

This is still the #1 attraction in Wuerzburg, as it's a UNESCO World Heritage site. Things have improved for the betterment of visitors, as the previous prohibition on photography has been removed. I was there in 2013 and was told that photography was forbidden, but people are now able to take pictures to their heart's content. My daughter was astounded and her jaw nearly hit the floor viewing the pink marble of the main hall with the Tiepolo fresco ceiling. I never get tired of visiting this gorgeous palace. My first visit was in Spring of 1964, and much of the building was closed off for reconstruction and restoration. This is one of my favorite destinations for a visit to Germany. This got 4 thumbs up recommendation bu my daughter and myself.

The Residenz is one of the most important castles in Europe. It was built from 1720-1744, and it’s a principal work of South German Baroque era architecture. We walked there from the downtown after a tiring day and we had no time to go inside. But the huge square, the imposing twin-buildings, the garden and the church was really stunning. We shoud return and visit the entire palace in detailed.
