Marienkapelle

The Marienkapelle is a late-Gothic hall church built between 1377 and about 1480 on Würzburg's Marktplatz, on the site of a Jewish cemetery destroyed in 1349. Its 70-metre tower has carried a gilded, rotating Madonna since 1713. The south portal shows copies of Tilman Riemenschneider's Adam and Eve sculptures, and the architect Balthasar Neumann is buried inside.
