Veitshöchheim Palace is a municipality in the district of Würzburg, in
Bavaria, Germany. It is situated on the right bank of the Main, 6 km

palace of the Prince-Bishops of Würzburg was built in 1680-82, and was
enlarged to its present appearance in 1753 by Balthasar Neumann. The
gardens were redesigned for Prince-Bishop Adam Friedrich von Seinsheim

allegorical sandstone sculptures from the workshops of the court
sculptors Ferdinand Tietz and Johann Peter Wagner.
