»The world of Wilhelmine«
Welcome to the Margravine's palaces and gardens
In only two decades, Margravine Wilhelmine of Bayreuth, the legendary sister of Frederick the Great, together with her husband Margrave Friedrich, transformed Bayreuth into a residential seat of European standing.
Well-known buildings such as the Margravial Opera House, which was included in UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 2012, the New Palace in the Bayreuth Rococo style and the Hermitage and Sanspareil parks still bear eloquent witness of their achievement.
