Wurzburg

A charming little medieval Franconian town. In 1945 about 90% of Wurzburg was destroyed during a WWII air raid and it took over 20 years to replicate and restore all of the historically important buildings that were destroyed.

 Wurzberg Marienkapelle

 Neumunster church and a beautiful fresco inside

Enjoying some hot Gluhwein at the Wurzberg Christmas Market
The Bavarians go BIG for Christmas! I think they invented the phrase "deck the halls"!

Fantasizing about what it would be like to live in the Residenz!
The Wurzburg Residenz. This place is HUGE! And if you think the outside is amazing, the inside is even better! Too bad no pictures were allowed. Napoleon dubbed this building the "nicest parsonage in Europe"
