The red and white church in the front is the Marienkapelle, begun in 1377, completed about 1480. Rich ornamental sculptures, especially in portal arches (portal statues of "Adam and Eve", originals at the Mainfränkisches Museum), interior renovated after fire in 1945, noteworthy is the "Beautiful Madonna", around 1420, numerous tombstones of Franconian knights and townsmen, among them Riemenschneider’s tombstone of Konrad von Schaumberg. Tombstone of the great Baroque architect Neumann at the portal facing the market square. The yellow building to the right is the Falkenhaus. The most splendid of all Baroque mansions, formerly an inn. The Rococo stucco-work was added in 1751.

I could not find any information out about this building, but I still thought it was worthy to be posted.

We did get to go inside the Neumunster church. It has a dome cathederal ceiling that you can barely see in the top left of the picture. Out of respect for the patrons inside the church, we did not take any pictures inside.
Neumünster Church, built on the burial site of St. Kilian. Rich interior, houses treasures such as a Madonna and the tombstone of the Abbot Trithemius by Riemenschneider. The cloister wing (about 1180) represents a major work of the Hohenstauffen period in Würzburg.
