Bayreuth Germany

Bayreuth is a city in the Bavarian administrative region of Upper Franconia. The first mention dates from 1194 as Baierrute. Almost 40 years later, in 1231, Bayreuth was first described as a city. In the 18th century, Margravine Wilhelmine, sister of Frederick II of Prussia, came to the city and gave it its baroque cityscape, which is still visible today. Among other things, the Margrave's Opera, the Chapel of New Castle and the Temple of the Sun and New Castle were built or expanded. Bayreuth is a very pleasant town of grand boulevards, pedestrian streets, lots of lovely 18th century buildings, a beautiful Schloss, a magnificent Opera House, and plenty of parks and gardens, lots of beaut fountains, and a wealth of impressive baroque and rococo architecture.
