Würzburg - Old University

(Local Name: Alte Universität) On the south side of the old town of Würzburg is the Old University (Alte Universität; 1582-92). In the west wing is part of the University Library, in the east wing the University Church, one of the few major German Renaissance churches (now adapted for use as a concert hall, etc.). Farther south, on the Sanderring, is the New University (1892-96). Most of the University buildings lie to the east of the town.
