Falkenhaus & Market Square
Haus zum Falken / Marktplatz
The Falkenhaus, its façade covered in Rococo stucco decoration. It houses the tourist information center and is the starting point for a stroll through the old town.
The Falkenhaus stands right beside the Marienkapelle. Remodeled in 1751, it is covered in white Rococo stucco ornament and is one of the most lavish Rococo townhouse façades in Germany. It was restored to its original appearance after World War II. The ground floor is the Würzburg Tourist Information Center, where you can pick up maps, book guided tours and buy tickets for the wine festival. The upper floors house the municipal library. The surrounding Market Square holds a market every morning and is known for its fried sausage stand. The exterior can be viewed at any time of day.
