Oct 28, 2011 - Wurzburg

Today we visited the Residenz in Wurzburg. It was the palace of the Price Bishops and was beautiful with the painted ceilings stucco decorations. Some time the stucco and painting melded together to give a 3D realistic feeling to the works. We toured through the rooms of one wing and as you went from room to room they became grander and grander. The final room had 2kg of gilding and was really a jaw dropper. We also got to see the servant’s hallways behind the main rooms. The gardens were nice but this is not the time of year for gardens...
