Guided Story
Look around you: Imagine the nobility strolling through these grand gardens. The Old Castle was a retreat, a place of leisure and celebration for the Margraves of Bayreuth. Behind you, in the distance, is the Ruin Theater, once a venue for lavish parties and performances. Right here, in the heart of the Eremitage, you can still feel the magic of the baroque era. It's said that Margravine Wilhelmine, a passionate art lover, often found inspiration here, surrounded by the harmony of nature and architecture. If you look to your left, you'll see the New Palace, providing a striking contrast to the Old Castle. Every stone, every detail here tells stories of power and splendor from days gone by.
