Johann Dientzenhofer

That autumn, the Elector of Bamberg, Lothar Franz von Schönborn, sent Johann Dientzenhofer to Rome to improve his skills in architecture.

Lothar Franz von Schönborn offered Johann Leonard's former position as court architect at Bamberg.

He was in Pommersfelden in 1711, where he designed the Schloss Weißenstein for Lothar Franz von Schönborn, Prince-Bishop of Bamberg and Archbishop of Mainz.

[5] Weißenstein Castle represents an important step in the development of German late Baroque palace architecture and is also Johann Dientzenhofer's most significant work.

Between 1720 and 1723, Johann serves as building inspector for the construction of the princely bishop's residence in Würzburg, for the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg, Johann Philipp Franz von Schönborn, nephew of Lothar Franz von Schönborn.
