Werneck Castle Werneck Castle is a former residence of the Prince-Bishops of Würzburg in the Bavarian market town of Werneck. The Baroque three-winged complex was built between 1731 and 1747 on the orders of Friedrich Karl von Schönborn, based on a design by Balthasar Neumann. During the conversion of the castle into a hospital starting in 1853, all interior rooms except the castle church were destroyed. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Werneck
