    (Translated by Google) Not my taste but beautiful in its kind. Lots of sights, old in addition to modern. During our visit there was a short sermon with high class organ music. (Original) Niet mijn smaak maar mooi in zijn soort. Veel bezienswaardigheden, oud naast modern. Tijdens ons bezoek was er een korte preek met orgelmuziek van grote klasse.

    (Translated by Google) Interesting construction, but structurally inconsistent for me ... the Gothic in the main nave and the Baroque in the apse. (Original) Interessanter Bau, aber für mich baulich nicht stimmig... die Gotik im Hauptschiff und der Barock in der Apsis.

    (Translated by Google) I am totally disappointed 😞 .... I unfortunately did not visit the church 😥, I tried 3 times (1 time on Saturday, 2 times on Sunday) ... always some problems ... closed 1/2 hour before the service, 1/2 hour after service still closed, then some kind of meeting ... staff very unfriendly, unpleasant ... without understanding ... (Original) Ich bin total enttäuscht 😞.... Ich habe leider die Kirche nicht besucht 😥, ich habe 3 mal (1mal am Samstag, 2 mal am Sonntag) probiert... immer irgendeine Probleme... 1/2 Stunde vor Gottesdienst geschlossen, 1/2 Stunde nach Gottesdienst noch geschlossen, dann irgendeines Treffen... Personal sehr unfreundlich, unangenehm... ohne Verständnis...

    Romanesque cathedral, one of its kind and really a special one in Würzburg. I do visit the churches wherever I go, and I had never felt so much at peace like here. It was renovated hence looks completely new but the Altar and the Transept are absolutely stunning. This is one of those churches that you should visit and feel by yourself. Completely worth the time and visit. Located right at the city center so you cannot miss it.

  • 2/5 Brigitte A. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The cathedral is imposing from the outside. When you enter, you are stunned by the cold white of the walls, which let the sculptures, which are well worth seeing, take a back seat. Not a place where you can feel safe. (Original) Von aussen ist der Dom imposant. Tritt man ein, ist man erschlagen von dem kalten Weiss der Wände, die die durchaus sehenswerten Skulpturen vollkommen in den Hintergrund treten lassen. Kein Ort, an dem man sich geborgen fühlen kann.

  • 4/5 Ru W. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The Würzburg Cathedral, also known as Kiliansdom, is probably the fourth largest Romanesque building. The main parts were completed at the end of the 12th century. Various modifications such as tower elevations, etc. and the completion of the towers in the east lasted until 1255. The Würzburg Cathedral has a 3-aisled basilica in the shape of a Latin cross with 4 towers. The destruction in World War II was removed by reconstruction until 1967. (Original) Der Würzburger Dom, auch als Kiliansdom bezeichnet, ist wohl das viertgrößte romanische Bauwerk. Die wichtigsten Teile wurden Ende des 12 Jahrhundert fertiggestellt. Verschiedene Umbauten wie Turmerhöhungen u.a. sowie die Fertigstellung der Türme im Osten dauerten bis 1255. Der Dom zu Würzburg hat eine 3-schiffige Basilika in der Form eines lateinischen Kreuzes mit 4 Türmen. Die Zerstörungen im 2. Weltkrieg wurden durch Wiederaufbau bis 1967 beseitigt.

    The exterior design of this cathedral looks boring but I’m surprised that the interior is crazily stunning!

    The frescos on the hallway walls were beautiful and we loved the structure. We will just have to come back when the museum is open. Apparently all museums in Frankfurt are closed on Mondays!

    Beautiful church in the old town of Wurzburg - entrance is free, but check times of operation. Plenty to see both inside and outside, and can get some amazing views from the main road. Highly recommend going in if you have a chance.

  • 5/5 Nigel D. 4 years ago on Google
    You must visit if you're in the area to pay your respects to the people who rebuilt this city that was destroyed in the last world war. Has much in common with Coventry's Cathedral that suffered a similar fate but is is significantly different in design. We thoroughly enjoyed our brief visit and will hopefully return in the not too distant future.

  • 4/5 Ibon D. 5 years ago on Google
    Old cloister converted in an exhibition space. It usually holds interesting "discursive" exhibitions about Frankfurt with panels and memorabilia. The cloister can be visited as well and by itself is reason enough to check this place. It's gold as well for people interested in Frankfurt's recent urban developments. Avoid visiting it when the guided tours take place, the room is practically full and it's nearly impossible to focus and enjoy the visit.

  • 1/5 Crystal 4 years ago on Google
    An old lady did not let us in the exhibition room because we were wearing our jackets. She was just plain rude and didn’t explain anything. We asked another staff she said the cloak room is in the other end of the room we tried to enter. What was her point? Tried to make herself feel important. We gave back and tickets and left.

  • 5/5 Michael S. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) very nice rooms in the historic building complex. ideal for exhibitions. here a demanding program is shown, in the annual change of selected artists. (Original) sehr schöne räumlichkeiten im historischen gebäudekomplex. ideal für ausstellungen. hier wird ein anspruchvolles programm gezeigt, im alljährlichen wechsel von ausgesuchten künstlern.

  • 3/5 Günter S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The building is worth a visit. Today I was in the city archive in the exhibition "Moving Times". I expected more information about the decade of the 1960s. That should also be possible for a city archive due to the inventory. In this way, only the uninformed visitor who has not experienced time experiences something new. Rather disappointing for me, unfortunately. (Original) Das Gebäude ist einen Besuch wert. Ich war heute im Stadtarchiv in der Ausstellung "Bewegte Zeiten". Erwartet habe ich mir mehr Information zum Jahrzehnt der 60er. Das müsste für ein Stadtarchiv aufgrund des Bestandes auch möglich sein. So erfährt nur der uninformierte Besucher, der die Zeit nicht erlebt hat, etwas Neues. Für mich eher enttäuschend, leider.

  • 5/5 Alex E. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the attractions in Wurzburg. I’ve been visiting religious sites recently, besides my love of food travel, and this church still gives chills. One will wonder how this is still preserve. Must be faith of the laity.

  • 5/5 thotho s. 2 years ago on Google
    A wonderful place, rich in history. I haven't been in many cathedrals but judging from my experiences this cathedral is one of kind. If you're around downtown Würzburg make sure to pay a visit.

    Nice church. From the construction it seems pretty new. But it has pretty got things to see. Further there is a pretty huge place to pray. It is pretty near to the city center and tram station. There is also a museum attached to this place I think they charge around 5 euro for entrance.

  • 5/5 sagar p. 4 years ago on Google
    Fortunately this was our first trip of 2020 which we completed before the ruthless covid 19 crisis hit the travel freaks and of course the whole world apart... We went there with our office friends and this cathedral was our first stop point to click some good pics...The outside of the cathedral was designed with prolific architecture and is the perfect spot for all photo goers...from this place old main bridge is just 5 minutes walk and the subsequent castle is 30 minutes walk...highly recommended 👌

  • 4/5 Eddy 3 years ago on Google
    First the cathedrals good points: it's one of the pinnacles of romanesque architecture, and it's interior is quite something. Especially the choir and the transept. But the downside to the cathedral is that it was bombarded in world war 2 and never rebuild the way it was before. Now it's feels too new.

  • 4/5 Andy 3 years ago on Google

    The museum of the city of Frankfurt is small, but nice. It accurately presents the earliest history of this ancient town. As for the city archive on the first floor -- well, I'm disappointed with the people working there. I travelled 100 km only to find out that someone forgot to sent me an email. I needed expertise help and instead I got a history book...

    (Translated by Google) The St. Kilians Cathedral in Würzburg is an impressive structure. Built around 1040 by Bishop Bruno, it is considered the fourth largest Romanesque basilica in Germany.
