Falkenhaus

Falkenhaus is one of Würzburg's most photographed buildings, thanks to its exuberant rococo facade painted in a warm golden-yellow. Located on the bustling market square (Marktplatz), it stands out among the surrounding buildings with its intricate stucco decorations, curved gables, and a central bay window. The name 'Falkenhaus' (Falcon House) derives from the falcon emblem that once adorned the building. Originally a private residence, it now serves as the city's main tourist information office, making it a practical first stop for visitors. Inside, you can pick up maps, brochures, and tickets for local attractions. The ground floor also features a small exhibition on the building's history and the development of the market square. Don't miss the ornate balcony and the sculpted figures on the facade, which depict allegories of the seasons and the arts.
