Veitshöchheim Palace, near Würzburg, served as the summer residence of the prince-bishops and, for a short time, of the Bavarian kings. The building as it stands today was reshaped by Balthasar Neumann in 1753 and still holds intact rococo interiors, stucco work by Antonio Giuseppe Bossi and Empire-style rooms fitted out under Grand Duke Ferdinand III of Tuscany. The palace is chiefly known for its rococo court garden, decorated with around three hundred sandstone sculptures and fountains, one of the few gardens of this style still preserved in Germany.
