Guided Story

Can you hear the soft echo of footsteps on these ancient stones? Look up at the intricate wooden ceiling, beautifully carved with details. Right here, this place of peace was once devastated by a fire in 1605, which consumed the church that stood before. Yet, the city didn't despair. By 1611, reconstruction began, and in 1614, the church was rededicated. Imagine the townspeople back then, filled with hope for a new chapter. Turn south, and you'll spot the Obeliskenbrunnen, another silent witness to Bayreuth's rich history. Let the tranquility of this place envelop you, and feel the stories embedded in each stone.
