The tour starts in front of the tourist information office in the Falkenhaus on the market square. The facade of the Falkenhaus is decorated with rich stucco ornamentation in the Rococo style and is a testament to Würzburg's heyday in the 18th century. Right next to it stands the majestic Marienkapelle (St. Marys Chapel), which was built in the Gothic era. You will learn about the eventful history of the market square and the tragic background of how the Marienkapelle and the market square came to be built.

Grafeneckart

We continue to the Grafeneckart, the oldest part of Würzburg's town hall. Originally built as a residential tower and used also as a center of municipal administration, it now houses the Wenzelsaal, one of the oldest secular rooms in Germany. The ground floor is home of the documentation room, in which a model of the destroyed city after the attacks in World War II can be seen.
