Alumni "Lieblings­plätze" in Würzburg

Würzburg has a long history with an interesting variety of architecture. Towards the end of the Second World War, the city was almost completely destroyed in an air raid. However, enough of the historic buildings survived or were rebuilt and have made Würzburg one of the most attractive tourist destinations in Germany. The world-famous prince bishops’ Residence with its formal court garden and vast outer courtyard were awarded world heritage status by UNESCO in 1981. In 2004, Würzburg celebrated its 1,300th anniversary.
