The Würzburg Residence was the 1st UNESCO site that I visited in Bavaria. I didn't go inside though, I just saw the outside and walked through the gardens.
The first of these postcards was my first postcard from there, it was sent by Gabriela in 2008. The other one arrived a few days ago and was sent by Claus.

The sumptuous Würzburg Residence was built and decorated in the 18th century by an international corps of architects, painters, sculptors, and stucco workers under the patronage of two successive Prince-Bishops, Johann Philipp Franz and Friedrich Karl von Schönborn.

The Residence was historically constructed between 1720 and 1744, decorated on the interior from 1740 to 1770 and landscaped with magnificent from 1765 to 1780. It testifies to the ostentation of the two Prince-Bishops, and as such illustrates the situation of one of the most brilliant courts of Europe during the 18th century.
The residence gives consummate testimony to the imposing courtly and cultural life of the feudalistic era of the 18th century, but at the same time its varied use today is an example of modern utilisation and preservation as a monument of ahistorical structure. - in: https://whc.unesco.org
