Marienkapelle and Falkenhaus



Haus Zum Falken

"Eve from Riemenschneider

The Marienkapelle (Chapel of St. Mary) at the market square is one of the most interesting late-Gothic Bavarian churches.Started in 1377, it was finished in 1481 as a symbol of self-confident townsmen. Inside are tombstones of Franconian knights and Würzburg citizens such as Konrad von Schaumberg (by Tilman Riemenschneider) and Balthasar Neumann.

At the portal are Riemenschneider's world famous sandstone sculptures of Adam and Eve.

Next to it is the Falkenhaus, the most splendid of Würzburg's Baroque mansions. Its Rococo stucco-work façade was added in 1751.
