Located behind the Würzburger Residenz, the Court Garden (Hofgarten) is a masterpiece of landscape design that blends strict Baroque symmetry with the naturalistic flow of an English garden. Visitors can wander through perfectly trimmed cone-shaped trees, past classical sculptures, and along winding paths that lead to an elevated terrace. This vantage point provides a unique perspective of the palace's backside and the surrounding Altstadt. Open to the public free of charge, it serves as a quiet sanctuary for a morning walk or a peaceful afternoon break. The garden remains a year-round attraction, maintaining its charm even in the winter months.
