Wurzburg was largely destroyed by firebombing on 15 March 1945, at the end of WWII. Most of the buildings were damaged or destroyed, including both wings of the Residenz or the home of the Prince-Bishop. The Prince-Bishop was the local power in Franconia, combining the secular power of the local Dule, along with the church power of local Bishop.
Over the years most of the damage has been repaired, as well as the central part of the Residenz, which survived mostly intact.
A carriage would drive in the left huge door, unload in an enclosed courtyard and proceed up the grand staircase on the left. On the ceiling above each of the four walls represents Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas.
That is just the stairs to get you up to the outrageously overdecorated rooms above, that will be posted later today.
