Würzburg Market Square (Marktplatz) and St. Mary’s Chapel (Marienkapelle)

Highlight • Settlement

I think the "green" market is especially nice and interesting.
In addition to a few stalls, which are open daily, regional fruit and vegetable growers offer their goods here. Whether classic asparagus or Demeter rarities, here you will find (almost) everything in very good quality! Against the small hunger in between, there are of course also remedy: in my opinion, there is the best bratwurst in Würzburg!
Opening hours of the green market (from wuerzburger-markt.de/gruener-markt.html):
Tuesday from 07:00 - 18:00
Wednesday from 07:00 to 15:00
Friday from 07:00 to 18:00
Saturday from 07:00 to 16:00
Except for events and holidays!
The fixed market stalls on the Würzburg market are open daily all year round.

When the weather is clear, there is an excellent view of e.g. to the Friedensbrücke and a part of Würzburg.

Marienberg Fortress

Highlight • Castle

The fortress was built on a mountain tongue on the left side of the Main about 100 meters above the river. The west side is the only flat side of the mountain. On the north side are the gardens and allotments that were created in the course of the State Horticultural Show in 1990. The other two mountain slopes are vineyards. The small slope on the eastern flank of the castle is the Schlossberg, on the southern flank the Inner Bar. Great photo opportunities and views of the city.

The view from the castle over Würzburg should not be missed.

Relaxed atmosphere, however visitors are more than relaxed. Mostly busy, cyclists disturb.

St. Mary's Chapel, Würzburg

Highlight • Religious Site

Where the Marienkapelle has been located for almost 700 years, was formerly the Jewish quarter. In 1349, the Jewish community of Würzburg was exterminated in a pogrom, the synagogue burned down. A few years later, the gothic church was built from donations from the citizens.

Falcon House

Highlight • Historical Site

The "Haus zum Falken" in the heart of the city at Marktplatz 9 houses the central city library and the tourist information and ticket service of the city of Würzburg.

After the city of Würzburg acquired the magnificent building in 1939, it burned down completely during the bombing raid on March 16, 1945 and was then restored until 1952 - the rococo facade reproduced using photos is now considered one of the most beautiful in southern Germany.

In the Middle Ages the falcon house was the residence of the cathedral priest, in 1735 it was the innkeeper Franz Thomas Meißner and his wife. After his death in 1751, the widow had the facade decorated with the magnificent rococo stucco decoration by wandering stucco workers from Upper Bavaria.
