The most complete examples of Rococo architecture are to be found in Southern Germany and in Austria. The palaces of the princes and the Catholic churches are often good examples. A fine Rococo building in Bavaria (Germany) is the Residenz (bishop's palace) in Wurzburg, designed by Balthasar Neumann and was built in 1719-44. It contains the famous Imperial Room with ceiling frescoes by Tiepolo. (Fresco painting is a technique in which painting is applied onto wet plaster.)
