The southern wing of the Würzburg Residenz houses the palace church. Architect Balthasar Neumann wanted to preserve his idea of harmony in the baroque facade. Therefore he kept the arrangement of windows and used columns in the interior of the church to detract the viewer’s eye from the architectural pattern.

The exorbitant baroque decoration of the palace church of the Würzburg Residence makes it almost impossible to distinguish between downside and upside.
