Object description:
Marienberg Fortress – Würzburg
The original castle on the Marienberg, a hill which was first settled in the late Bronze Age, was probably a small fort built early in the 8th century by the Franconian-Thuringian dukes. The circular Marienkapelle is one of the oldest church...
In the Arsenal and the Princes’ Building, the "Museum für Franken - Staatliches Museum für Kunst- und Kulturgeschichte in Würzburg" shows an outstanding collection of art treasures. The museum is not operated by the Bavarian Palace Administration.
Current information
Construction work on Marienberg Fortress
The main castle and the inner castle courtyard (from the Scherenberg Bridge) are unfortunately closed to the public until further notice due to construction work.
The second courtyard, the so-called Echterhof, and the viewing points around the castle remain accessible and guided tours of the castle will continue to take place. Please understand that castle tours may have to be cancelled at short notice due to ongoing construction work.
The Museum für Franken remains open.
