Staatlicher Hofkeller

The Staatlicher Hofkeller continues on a tradition which can be traced back as far as 1128. The extensive wine cellars of the former prince-bishops' can be found underneath the Baroque Residence Palace. Experience and enjoy these wonderful wines in one of the most beautiful wine cellars of the world.

The former imperial cellar of the prince-bishops of Würzburg is located in the basement of the Residence Palace. The cellar is very large and its hallways are intertwined and maze-like. In 1719, the prince-bishop Johann Philipp Franz awarded the contract to build a new royal residence to Balthasar Neumann, the architect from Eger. The order included the construction of an “excellent” wine cellar.
