History+

The origins of the Eremitage date back to 1616 when the Margraves of Bayreuth acquired a forest area. From 1715, Margrave Georg Wilhelm had a small summer palace and other buildings constructed for a courtly hermitage. The complex was inaugurated in 1719 and completed by 1722. Under Margrave Friedrich and his wife Wilhelmine, the Eremitage underwent expansion from 1735.
