Würzburg Residence is one of the largest and most beautiful in Germany. It was built under the patronage of prince-bishops Lothar Franz and Friedrich Carl von Schönborn and is surrounded by lovely gardens. A multinational team of architects, painters (including Tiepolo), sculptors, and stucco workers directed by Balthasar Neumann constructed and adorned it in the 18th century. The Residence was constructed between 1720 and 1744, decorated on the interior from 1740 to 1770, and landscaped with magnificent gardens from 1765 to 1780. The most renowned architects of the period - the Viennese, Lukas von Hildebrandt, and the Parisians Robert de Cotte and Germain Boffrand - drew up the plans. They were supervised by the official architect of the Prince Bishop, Balthasar Neumann, who was assisted by Maximilian von Welsch, the architect of the Elector of Mainz. Sculptors and stucco workers came from Italy, Flanders, and Munich. The Venetian painter Giovanni Battista Tiepolo frescoed the staircase and the walls of the Imperial Hall. The residence gives consummate testimony to the imposing courtly and cultural life of the feudalistic era of the 18th century, but at the same time, its varied use today is an example of modern utilization and preservation as a monument of ahistorical structure. In 1981, the Würzburg Residence and courtyard garden were awarded the UNESCO World Heritage title. *For more information please visit the UNESCO World Heritage Centre website ------------------------------------------------ Recorded on: 08.12.2023 ------------------------------------------------ Thanks for watching.
