The beer experience world
Experiencing the Artisanal Art of Brewing Maisel’s Brewery & Büttnerei Museum in Bayreuth guarantees a fascinating experience for all the senses. Everything works in the brick decorated brick building still as if the brewers and Büttner times just flew away for lunch break. Every year, around 20,000 visitors immerse themselves in the history of the Bavarian brewing tradition in the beer region of Upper Franconia.
The Hermitage
The Hermitage and Hofgarten Margrave Georg Wilhelm had the Old Palace built in 1715 near the royal town of Bayreuth as the center of a courtly hermitage. In the year of his accession in 1735 Margrave Friedrich made the terrain of his wife Wilhelmine a gift. Intrigued by the uniqueness of the plant, the Margravine immediately began extensive expansion measures.
World Heritage Site
In the 18th century, an opera house was built in the small residential town of Bayreuth, which was in no way inferior in size and splendor to the most famous houses of its time. Above all, the Margravine Wilhelmine operated emphatically the new building. In just four years of construction, the Opera House was built from 1744 to plans by Joseph St. Pierre. The façade design was based on northern Italian models and set the opera house distinctively from the adjacent houses. The interior was designed by Giuseppe Galli Bibiena, probably the most famous theater architect of his time.
Festspielhaus
The Richard Wagner Festspielhaus is a festival theater on the Green Hill in Bayreuth. It was built in 1872 75 by Otto Brückwald based on designs by Richard Wagner in the style of Hellenistic Romanticism. Unlike most opera houses, it has no permanent ensemble and is performed every year from July 25 to August 28 at the Bayreuth Festival with operas and musical dramas by Wagner in 30 performances. It is considered one of the opera houses with the world’s best acoustics.
