Dom St Kilian
Würzburg's Romanesque Dom St Kilian was built between 1040 and 1237, although numerous alterations have added Gothic, Renaissance and baroque elements. The row of elaborate pillar-mounted tombstones was hewn from red marble by Tilman Riemenschneider. Attached to the north transept is the festive Balthasar Neumann-designed Schönbornkapelle, the final resting place of the Schönborn bishops.
