The St. John's Church is the second Evangelical Lutheran parish church in Würzburg after St. Stephen's and at the same time the first to be built by the Protestant community itself. It was consecrated to John the Baptist on June 24, 1895. The church, which was rebuilt after destruction due to the war and reconsecrated in 1957, is located in Würzburg's city centre about 200 metres northeast of the Residenz at the junction of Hofstallstraße and Husarenstraße. Due to the road network, it is not exactly geostatic, but points to the northeast.

St. Stephan, also called Stephanskirche, has been the first longer existing Evangelical Church of Würzburg since 1803. It goes back to the monastery church of a Benedictine convention of St. Stephan, which was dissolved by secularization. A few years earlier, the old building of the monastery church was largely demolished in 1788/89 and a new building was built according to Johann Philipp Geigel plans. The old building with the associated monastery buildings goes back to 1014, namely to a former St. Peter and Paul college pencil, which was converted into a Benedictine monastery by Bishop Adalbero in 1057. After the transfer of relics of St. Stephanus, it was only named after this, while the name St. Peter and Paul was transferred to the new parish church. The monastery buildings were used profane after 1803, totally destroyed and removed in 1945. New buildings took up the government of Lower Franconia. The church was rebuilt in 1949–1955 as a flat hedged hall building, inaugurated in 1952 and is now the dean's church of Würzburg. In addition to the existing CVJM from 1963, institutions such as the Rudolf Alexander-Schröder-Haus, an Evangelical bookstore and a advice center of the Diakonie were created in addition to the existing CVJM, which made the place a Würzburg Evangelical Center.

The Old Main Bridge is the oldest bridge over the Main in Würzburg and a landmark of the city. The construction, which began in the 15th century, was Würzburg's only river crossing until 1886. The bridge, part of the East-West Passage, connects the old town on the right bank of the Main with the Marienberg Fortress opposite at kilometre 252.32 on the Main. It is used by pedestrian and bicycle traffic. With its stone figures that characterise the cityscape, the Old Main Bridge in the 18th century, like Prague's Charles Bridge, continued a tradition begun in Rome with the Angel Bridge.
