The Hofkeller constructed by Balthasar Neumann between 1720 and 1744, offers a very unique ambiance. It’s the last remaining baroque wine cellar, a World Heritage site, which is still in use for wine making. Deep inside the Würzburg Residence, the extensive and labyrinthine cellar corridors of the former "Prince Bishop's Court Cellar" stretch out. Visitors who wander through the atmospherically illuminated corridors and vaults of the Residenzweinkeller today will discover one of the most beautiful wine cellars in the world.
