Adjoining the
Rathaus
, the 1659-built Grafeneckart houses a scale model
of the WWII bombing, which starkly depicts the extent of the damage to the city follow-
ing the night of 16 March 1945, when 5000 citizens lost their lives. Viewing it before you
climb up to the fortress overlooking the city gives you an appreciation of Würzburg's as-
tonishing recovery.

ist works of the Peter C Ruppert collection, a challenging assembly of computer art,
sculpture, paintings and photographs.
