Etwas kurios wirkt die kleine Plastikreplik von Martin Luther vorne rechts vor dem Altar, ob die dem rustikalen, zornigen Reformator gefallen hätte? ;). Die Kirche liegt auf dem Weg zwischen Bahnhof und der Hauptattraktion der Stadt, der Burgruine - ist also nicht zu verfehlen. Ganz in der Nähe befindet sich auch der zentrale Marktplatz mit diversen, Cafés, Restaurants und Brauhäusern.

Interested to know more, we wandered down the alley to a very pretty ,small 'square' of old buildings (Richard Hauser-Platz). We took a few photos of the square, then stepped inside the church. Jesuit churches I have visited in Europe have a 'light and airy' feel to them. I enjoy the 'heavy' gothic churches too, but this Baroque, white interior church is just beautiful. White columns highlighted with gold details, vaulted white arched ceilings, high windows illuminate the bright, minimally adorned interior, delicate glass chandeliers reflect light without interrupting the white expanse. The pipe organ is also lovely with gold baroque detail on the keyboard cupboard. I did not get a chance to hear the organ played, but I suspect it would be worth a visit to hear. There are a few areas along the interior walls with devotional areas which may include a painting with a table below, candles, flowers or other item. A museum is attached to the church, but we did not enter. You can easily wander around the church in a short time and be on your way again. This is an active parish, so be aware when visiting locals may be inside praying or services may be on- going. If you like Baroque style, this is definitely a stop to make. Easily accessed from the pedestrian zone (the Hauptstrasse) in the old section of town near University Platz.

Unfortunately, it was heavily damaged by the bombing in World War II, and its interior was destroyed by flames. Fortunately, it was rebuilt in the 1950s and re-consecrated in 1962. The original construction started in 1377, but it's not certain at what point in time the chapel was finished. The choir was reportedly consecrated in 1392. Burials at the site took place as early as 1411/2. By 1441 it must have been largely completed as Bishop Sigismund von Sachsen driven from the cathedral, used it as his church. That same year construction started on the tower, and the tower roof was added in 1479.  Its two best known works of art, the sculptures of Adam and Eve by Tilman Riemenschneider, are today located in the Mainfränkisches Museum and have been replaced by copies (on South Portal). You'll enjoy visiting this church, and you should make this one of your stops while you're in Würzburg.

This beautiful late-gothic church, painted in red and white, is an unmistakable feature of the city…read morefabric of Würzburg, and well worth a visit. The Church was erected on the site of a synagogue, destroyed during a pogrom in 1349. It's not clear whether the subsequent church, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, was built in atonement for the massacre itself, or for the fact that a non-Christian place of worship had been previously tolerated on the site. (Such uncomfortable ambiguity applies also to the Marienkirche in Nuremberg, erected in almost identical circumstances.) Either way, the foundation stone was laid in 1377, and by 1392 the choir was complete. However, it took until 1440 to complete the nave, and 1492 before the tower was finished. The Chapel was never a parish church, but records indicate both a knightly guild and the town council used the church and contributed to its upkeep. The building itself is an excellent example of a Hall Church, with the aisles matching the height of the nave. The windows are exceptionally tall, and with the tall arcade columns, serve to give the interior dramatic vertical emphasis. The nave has an excellent collection of late mediaeval and early renaissance tomb memorials, mostly depicting knights in their full armour. The altar piece is 16th Century but the attribution is uncertain. The church is still in use for services and occasionally recitals and concerts.
