Neumünsterkirche and Lusamgärtlein
Leading off the Market place, the Neumunster's dusky pink facade stands out among the postwar houses. This Romanesque basilica of the 11th century has a 13th century choir and ornate tower, imposing cupola and Baroque facade (1710-1716) and is built on the burial site of St. Kilian. In the Lusam Garden is the grave of the minstrel Walther von der Vogelweide.

Cathedral with Crypt and cloister
Wurzburg's Cathedral, consecrated to St. Kilian too, was burned out in 1945, so only the exterior is true to the original Romanesque. South of the Dom building you will find the large, picturesque cloister. You can enter from the southern transverse part of the Dom and from the so-called "Burkardushaus". In the cloister you may find numerous tombstones, most of them dating from the 15th to the 18th century. Of special interest are the tombstones of the curates of the Dom and those in memory of the clergy belonging to the former chapter of the cathedral who descended from the Franconian nobility and those of some noblemen themselves.
