Gothic Gem in Market Square
Category

Historic

Right in the heart of Würzburg's bustling Marktplatz, you'll find the stunning St. Mary's Chapel, a true Gothic gem that's impossible to miss with its striking red and white facade. Step inside for a moment of peace and to admire the beautiful art, including famous sculptures by Tilman Riemenschneider.

It’s the perfect, serene pause in a busy day of exploring the old town, offering a quiet space for reflection just steps from the lively market.

Construction of the Marienkapelle began in 1377 and was completed in 1480.

The arches of the doors have figures of Adam and Eve made by Tilman Riemenschneider - the originals are now on display at the Mainfränkisches Museum, replaced by these replicas in 1975.
