The main activity of our stop was to visit the Marienberg Fortress.
It was the residence of the prince-bishops from 1253-1720.
We toured a magnificent museum which included some of the most interesting
works I've seen yet. Paintings from the 14th - 18th centuries, sculptures,
furniture, flags, armament and most interesting were several artificats
found near Wurzburg that predated Christ by several centuries! And we could
look at them!

The "Residence" built for a 16th century bishop who thought the fortress was too limiting. This Residenz is four times the size of what you see here. It is VERY wide.
