Würzburg Cathedral, dedicated to Saint Kilian, stands out with its twin-towered facade and a length of 105 meters, making it the fourth-largest Romanesque church in Germany. Beneath the cathedral lies a crypt, built between 855 and 892, featuring a rare draw well. It remains a significant piece of Salian-era German architecture.
