Places to see in ( Wurzburg - Germany ) St Kilian Cathedral
Würzburg Cathedral is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Würzburg in Bavaria, Germany, dedicated to Saint Kilian. It is the seat of the Bishop of Würzburg and has served as the burial place for the Prince-Bishops of Würzburg for hundreds of years. With an overall length of 103 metres, it is reckoned to be the fourth largest Romanesque church building in Germany, and a masterpiece of German architecture from the Salian period. Notable later additions include work by Tilman Riemenschneider and Balthasar Neumann. The cathedral was heavily damaged by British bombs in March 1945 but rebuilt post-World War II.
The present cathedral was built from 1040 onwards by Bishop Bruno of Würzburgis. It likely was the third church on the site: the previous two, built in about 787 and 855, were respectively destroyed and severely damaged by fire. After Bruno's accidental death in 1045, his successor Adalbero completed the building in 1075. Due to several rebuildings, notably after 1133, the cathedral was only consecrated in 1187. This church already had the strong cross lay-out still present today: a long nave with a high choir, the broad transept and the two narrow western towers.
The greater part of the building collapsed in the winter of 1946 in consequence of the fire bombing of Würzburg on 16 March 1945. Reconstruction was completed in 1967, in the course of which the Baroque components were removed in favour of a re-Romanisation. The new interpretation emphasizes the contrast between the surviving historical parts of the structure, resulting in a sometimes controversial combination of predominantly Romanesque with modern and Baroque elements. The Romanesque Revival west front with a rose window, the tripartite gallery and the opening for the clock were combined during the reconstruction with a plain pumice stone wall, and revealed again during renovation work up to November 2006. In 1988 the choir was redesigned by Hubert Elsässer.

St. Kilian - Myth, legend and the apostle of the Franconia (english version)
The film project of the University of Applied Sciences Würzburg - Schweinfurt in cooperation with the Diocese of Würzburg traces the life story of the historical figures of the Irish monk Kilian and his companions Kolonat and Totnan. From the historical sites in Ireland it comes to many locations in Franconia, where the missionary activity Kilian is visible.
Franconian popular piety and the German-Irish relations show the effect of the Franks Apostle up to the present time.

From our 2016 trip to Europe.
St. Kilian’s Cathedral, completed in 1188, is Romanesque with Gothic spires and Baroque additions. Destroyed in WW2, it was rebuilt in the 1960s combining elements of the old and the new. The cathedral is named for a 7th century Irish monk who came to Würzburg with his colleagues, Kolonat and Totnan, as missionaries, converting the local Duke and spreading the gospel throughout Franconia. However Kilian’s subsequent criticism of the Duke’s marriage to his brother’s widow so angered the Duke’s wife that she had him and his two colleagues beheaded in the Duke’s absence. The incident recalls a similar biblical episode when John the Baptist was beheaded for criticizing Herod’s marriage to his brother’s widow. The skulls of the three Irish monks are within the Cathedral's altar. Lining the nave are standing tombs of prince bishops dating back centuries. One of particular note is that of the 15th c. prince bishop Rudolph von Scherenberg, carved by Tilman Riemenschneider. Scherenberg ruled until he was 94, and Riemenschneider broke with tradition by carving him accurately in his full maturity. The next prince bishop, whose tomb is to the right of Scherenberg’s, was so unsettled by the unflattering image of his predecessor that he insisted on a more traditional idealized portrait of himself, also done by Riemenschneider. In the courtyard outside the church (Kilianplatz) is a statue of Saint Kilian, and nearby, embedded in the side of the church is the tombstone of Reimenschneider, placed here when the church cemetery was moved.
On the opposite side of Kilianplatz is the even older Neumünster Basilica. This 11th c. Romanesque basilica is on the site where the three Irish monks were martyred. We see them looking down on us from the church façade, with Kilian giving us his blessing. The church received a huge dome and sandstone Baroque façade in the 1700s, and the interior is similarly decorated in bubbly Baroque stucco. The late-Gothic Human Hair Crucifix suspended above the choir is from the period in the late 15th c. when real hair was used to enhance the sense of realism. The medieval Schmerzensmannkreuz (Man of Sorrows Cross, c. 1350) depicts Christ with his arms uncharacteristically freed from the cross. The church’s crypt (the Kiliansgruft) contains the bones of the three Irish martyrs, now housed in a 20th c. bronze shrine atop a 13th c. altar. Here also are several 8th c. sarcophagi, one of which formerly contained Kilian’s body (the Kilianssarg with the painting of Christ above it).
Built in 1133, the Alte Mainbrücke (the Old Main Bridge) is the 2nd oldest in Germany. “Main” refers to the Main River which it spans. The 12 statues lining the bridge represent various prince bishops and saints, including Saint Kilian, the figure with a golden sword. On the hill in the distance, we see the Festung Marienberg, the town’s 13th c. fortress. This was the original home of the prince bishops until they moved to the Residenz Palace in the 1700s. We had lunch at the Alte Mainmühle, a restaurant in a converted mill adjoining the bridge.
We passed a fanciful fountain en route to the Marienplatz, the town’s main market square which is home to a bustling produce and flower market. In the middle of the square is Marienkapelle. This late-Gothic church wasn’t funded by Rome -- it was the people’s church -- so to bankroll it, the chapel was ringed with little businesses called “swallow shops” because they resemble swallow’s nests huddled up against a house. At the main entrance to the church are Reimenschneider’s celebrated Adam and Eve statues, flanking a portal depicting the Coronation of Mary. Above the door at the West portal is a Last Judgment scene, where the commoners who funded this chapel made sure that even bishops, kings, and fine ladies faced judgment, some going to heaven, others in the chain gang being led off to hell via the monster’s mouth. At another entrance, we see the Annunciation as the angel Gabriel gives the good news to Mary, her virginity symbolized by the lilies, as God whispers through a speaking tube with the tiny figure of the baby Jesus sliding down toward Mary’s ear. The interior has some interesting statues and a large suspended crucifix.
The Residenz became the new home for the prince bishops in the 18th c. when they moved down from the Marienberg Fortress. In front of it is the Frankoniabrunnen, a 19th c. fountain celebrating three great citizens of Würzburg: medieval woodcarver Tilman Riemenschneider, Renaissance painter Matthias Grünewald, and the 12th c. poet Walther von der Vogelweide. A fabulous Baroque chapel adjoins the Residenz but photography was not permitted. The adjoining Hofgarten provides a peaceful retreat.
The video concludes with several still photos from our visit.

WALKING TOUR | The Würzburg Residence and Garden (Germany) | June 2019 | Iam_Pingkit
Würzburg is a city in Germany's Bavaria region. It's known for lavish baroque and rococo architecture, particularly the 18th-century Residenz palace, with ornate rooms, a huge fresco by Venetian artist Tiepolo and an elaborate staircase. Home to numerous wine bars, cellars and wineries, Würzburg is the center of the Franconian wine country, with its distinctive bocksbeutel (bottles with flattened round shapes). source:
The Würzburg Residence (German: Würzburger Residenz) is a palace in Würzburg, Germany. Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt and Maximilian von Welsch, representatives of the Austrian/South German Baroque style, were involved in the construction, as well as Robert de Cotte and Germain Boffrand, who were followers of the French Style. Balthasar Neumann, court architect of the Bishop of Würzburg, was the principal architect of the Residence, which was commissioned by the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg Johann Philipp Franz von Schönborn and his brother Friedrich Carl von Schönborn in 1720, and completed in 1744. The Venetian painter Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, assisted by his son, Domenico, painted frescoes in the building.
Interiors considered masterworks of Baroque/Rococo or Neoclassical architecture and art include the grand staircase, the chapel, and the Imperial Hall. The building was reportedly called the largest parsonage in Europe by Napoleon.[1]:52 It was heavily damaged by Allied bombing during World War II, and restoration has been in progress since 1945. Since 1981, the Residence has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Source:
