Hofkirche

The on-site church of Würzburg’s palatial Residence dates back to the 1730s. After the walls were completed, a group of court artists joined forces to create what is one of the most decorative churches of the 18th century in Germany. Painter Rudolph Byss contributed the jaw-dropping frescoes, Antonio Bossi added stucco elements figurines and Johann Wolfgang van der Auwera created the imposing marble statues which flank the high altar.
