Places to see in ( Wurzburg - Germany ) Veitshochheim Schloss
Places to see in ( Wurzburg - Germany ) Veitshochheim Schloss
The Veitshöchheim Castle is a former summer residence of the Prince-Bishops of Würzburg , later the kings of Bavaria , in Veitshöchheim near Würzburg. The castle complex is known for the surrounding Rococo garden. The beginnings of the castle are attested on the ground floor, where in 1680-82 a hall with five arches of the archbishops of Würzburg was preserved. It served as protection after the hunt. The two-storey building today still bears the four oriel risalits of the older building. The architect Antonio Petrini and certainly the foreman Heinrich Zimmer were probably involved in the construction. Later, there was an extension to two window axes and a representative upper floor, which were limited by four corner turrets. In 1753, Balthasar Neumann gave the building its current appearance: it built side pavilions , vaulted the whole with the distinctive sweeping roof and added a prestigious staircase inside.
From baroque time come all the floors; Baroque interiors have also been preserved, which adorn a wing of the upper floor: a dining room with games tables, a billiard room, a study, a living room, a bedroom with a retiro, which has a later equipment. In all rooms there is still the original stucco by Antonio Giuseppe Bossi . The silk wall coverings were largely reconstructed in Lyon according to original patterns, only in the living room still hangs the original wall covering in the rare Ikat technique.
There is a chapel in the staircase. The stucco altar decorated with fantastic color transitions was also created by Antonio Bossi. A convertible prayer chair has been preserved. The original goatskin wallpaper with embossed print and gold ornaments was outsourced to protect against moisture. Also a small kitchen can be found there, which was intended for serving food.
Since the 16th century, two castles can be found in Veitshöchheim, with an enclosure for pheasants and probably red deer. In 1681, Prince-Bishop Peter Philipp von Dernbach had land purchased to expand this High Prince Thier Garten. 1680/82, the core of today's castle was built. In 1702/03, Johann Philipp von Greiffenclau made the Fasanerie a pleasure garden: the dernbachsche Schlösschen was prepared and converted into a summer house, it received a ground floor , the area to the south became a tree or Boskettgartentransformed with the Great Lake. 1748/49, the old water castle were laid down and replaced by a Cavalierbau and other economics buildings. The heavily run-down garden was - while maintaining the planning of 1702 - by Carl Philipp von Greiffenclau brought in proper state. His successor Prince-Bishop Adam Friedrich von Seinsheim initiated in 1763 - after the end of the Seven Years' War - the redesign of the garden. He was now in lavish abundance with wells , about 300 sandstone sculptures of the court sculptors Johann Wolfgang van der Auvera , Ferdinand Tietz and Johann Peter Wagner and numerousWater features and is one of the few plants in the French rococo style in Germany, which are still preserved. Other elements include hedge halls, arbors , pavilions and rondels, as well as artificial ruins . The grotto complex is similar to that in the Boboli garden of the Palazzo Pitti in Florence ; It was designed by Johann Philipp Geigel and Materno Bossi .

Würzburg Residenz
Sie ist nicht nur wegen der enormen Ausdehnung das Meisterwerk des großen Architekten Balthasar Neumann. Die Residenz im Herzen Würzburgs. Der Blick vom Treppenhaus zum weltberühmten Deckenfresko von Giovanni Battista Tiepolo zählt zu den Höhepunkten des Besuchs. Aber auch die Hofkirche aus dem 18. Jahrhundert ist ein Meisterwerk. Seit Oktober 2010 ist sie allerdings für über 3 Jahre wegen Sanierungsarbeiten geschlossen.

Zwischen Würzburg und Veitshöchheim | Unterwegs in Würzburg | www.wuerzburg-fotos.de
Es gibt viele Möglichkeiten von Würzburg nach Veitshöchheim und zurück zu kommen. Man könnte mit dem Auto, mit dem Fahrrad, mit dem Bus oder mit der Bahn fahren. Und wenn es nicht so schnell sein soll (ca. 45 Minuten Fahrtzeit), dann ist auch eine Fahrt mit dem Schiff sehr schön! ;-)
Viel Spaß mit meinem Sonntagsvideo!
Marienberg Fortress Würzburg Germany
#globepravasi#bavaria#germany
The original castle on the Marienberg, a hill which was first settled in the late Bronze Age, was probably a small fort built early in the 8th century by the Franconian-Thuringian dukes. The circular Marienkapelle is one of the oldest church buildings in South Germany and dates from around 1000. From 1200 an unusually large castle was built, which was extended during the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. For half a millennium, from around 12 50 to 17 20, the Marienberg was the ruling seat of the Würzburg prince-bishops, who also held the title of Duke of East Franconia.

Exploring the City of Wine! | Würzburg, Germany 2019 // Eurotrip! :)
The city of Würzburg is one of the most beautiful German cities I have been to! We hiked up to the castle, attended a wine festival, and had some awesome German food. Drinking wine on the bridge while soaking up the sun and the beautiful view was an amazing experience. I can't wait to go back! :)
Gemäuer mit Geschichte: Residenz Würzburg | euromaxx
Die Residenz Würzburg gehört seit 1981 zum Weltkulturerbe der UNESCO und zählt in Deutschland und Europa zu den prachtvollsten Schlössern der ausgehenden Barock- und beginnenden Rokokozeit.Die Residenz wurde in nur sechzig Jahren errichtet. Auftraggeber war der Würzburger Fürstbischof Johann Philipp Franz von Schönborn. Vorbild für die Baumeister war unter anderem das Schloss Versailles, trotzdem entstand in Würzburg etwas ganz eigenes. Kein Plagiat, sondern eine Gemeinschaftsleistung von Architekten, Dekorationskünstlern und Freskenmalern. Sie wird auch Würzburger Rokoko genannt. Die Baumeister

Marienberg Fortress, Würzburg, Bavaria, Germany
Marienberg Fortress is a prominent landmark on the left bank of the Main river in Würzburg, in the Franconia region of Bavaria, Germany. The mighty Fortress Marienberg is a symbol of Würzburg and served as a home of the local prince-bishops for nearly five centuries. It has been a fort since ancient times. Most of the current structures originally were built in Renaissance and Baroque styles between the 16th and 18th centuries. After Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden conquered the area in 1631 during the Thirty Years' War, the castle was reconstructed as a Baroque residence. After it ceased to serve as residence of the Bishops of Würzburg, the fortress saw repeated action in the wars of the late 18th and 19th centuries. Festung Marienberg was severely damaged by British bombs in March 1945 and only fully rebuilt in 1990. Today, it houses two museums.
Today, Festung Marienberg is mostly accessible to the public. This includes the Scherenbergtor (gate), the Burgfried (keep), Saint Mary's Church and the well house.
Since 1946, the Baroque Zeughaus (armory), originally built 1702-1712 but reconstructed after being destroyed in 1866 and 1945, houses the Mainfränkisches Museum (de), a collection of Franconian works of art from the Middle Ages to the Baroque period, including world-famous Gothic sculptures by Tilman Riemenschneider. There is also a collection of earlier artefacts from Franconia, stretching back to the paleolithic period. Founded in 1913 as Fränkisches Luitpoldmuseum in the town, the museum's previous location was destroyed by British bombers in March 1945. In 1950-1954, the Echterbastei (also damaged in the bombing) was rebuilt and the museum expanded into this part of the fortress.[1]:30–36[2]:27
The Fürstenbaumuseum in the Fürstenbau (palas) of the fortress, established in the 1930s (originally as two museums), offers a stroll through 1,200 years of Würzburg's history. It features the Bibra Stairs and apartments, and the Julius Echter apartments. These do not contain the original funishments (either lost in the Swedish sacking of the castle or transported to the new Residenz in 1720), but period pieces. There are also exhibits of ecclesial treasures as well as on the history of Würzburg and the fortress.
There are also two restaurants in the fortress.
