Wurzburg is a charming little town in the northern part of Bavaria. This 1300 year old city is scenic and full of historic sights. We think of it as a city of spires; it is rich with churches and cathedrals. The beautiful bridge over the Main River is a tribute to the bridge on the Charles River in Prague.

Wurzburg from the Fortress

The Marienberg Fortress is the city’s landmark. It was the fortified residence of the Prince Bishops for half a century.

The Residence of the Prince Bishops. After some relative peace, the Prince Bishops moved from the fortress to this baroque masterpiece.

    Here is the link to the Wurzburg tourism office. They most likely can send you the postcards, or help you obtain them.
