Kurie Neulobdeburg
Kurie Neulobdeburg stands in Würzburg’s old town as a former canon’s court with a corner position and hipped roof. Its façade combines baroque portals with postwar reconstruction. The old town setting connects the building with Würzburg’s ecclesiastical and noble history.
Prince-Bishop Johann Philipp von Greiffenclau Vollraths expanded the site through a property exchange and adjoining townhouses. Construction finished in 1730, after delays from the planned 1711 completion. Johann Veit von Würtzburg became its first resident, and the Würtzburg family retained the property after secularization until 1922. Würzburg bombing destroyed the building in 1945.
Claus Holler rebuilt the house between 1947 and 1950, preserving the original portals and creating the sometimes-used name Holler House. Illusionistic plaster architecture followed there in 1965. Today, a dance school uses the eastern ground and first floors, while coats of arms mark the courtyard and façades. A memorial plaque above the main portal records the building’s changing role.
