Original - The front façade of the Würzburg Residence, a palace of the former Prince-Bishops of Würzburg, Germany. The Residence was designed by several of the leading Baroque architects of the 18th century: Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt and Maximilian von Welsch of the South German Baroque style, as well as Robert de Cotte and Germain Boffrand, of the French Style.
Reason
This is a great panorama of the Würzburg Residence and the beginnings of its Court Gardens, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It really brings out the harmony and elegance of the Baroque architectural style.
