Following along this wing is the State Gallery. The gallery consists of a series of seven rooms filled with paintings, which are now primarily Venetian, but would have held other works of art from the time. It was originally thought that there might have been a small theatre used for plays and opera, but this was taken out for lack of use. In the early 1800’s a merry go round was put here to amuse the children of the Grand Duke of Würzburg and can now be found in a museum in Munich.
Across from the State Gallery is the Prince’s Hall. This was the site that was supposed to be the nave of the chapel, but upon further consideration the chapel was moved. The hall was then held as a dining room and a concert hall. The name of the hall comes from the patron Prince Bishop Adam Friedrich von Seinsheim. There is a larger than life portrait of Seinsheim hanging in the hall today. During WWII the hall was extensively damaged and was not completed until 1978(Treffler).
A little further down in the left wing are the Ingelheim Rooms. These rooms consist of the Red antechamber, the Yellow Corner Cabinet, a Blue Antechamber, and a Yellow Audience room. These rooms were named for Franz von Ingelheim, but were not decorated until a later date.
