Marienberg Fortress
Marienberg Fortress, Medieval fortress on Marienberg hill, Würzburg, Germany
The fortress stands at 268 meters elevation with defensive bastions, Renaissance walls, Baroque buildings, and a central courtyard encompassing multiple architectural periods.
From 1250 to 1720, Marienberg Fortress functioned as the residence of Würzburg prince-bishops, who controlled the region as Dukes of East Franconia.
The Museum für Franken within the Arsenal displays regional art collections, medieval sculptures, and historical artifacts representing Franconian cultural development.
