Kirche, Romanesque church in Würzburg, Germany

The Marienkirche stands within Marienberg Fortress walls, featuring red sandstone walls and an ornamental portal with apostle depictions.

Duke Hedan II constructed the first Christian church at this location in 706, making it the oldest religious structure in Würzburg.

The church contains burial sites for Würzburg bishops, including decorated grave plates with detailed reliefs in the center area.

The church remains accessible through guided tours of Marienberg Fortress, operating daily from morning until evening hours.

The church served as storage for prince-bishops' entrails, while their bodies went to the cathedral and hearts to Ebrach Abbey.
