Princess Wilhemina, the sister of Frederick the Great of Prussia, put Bayreuth on the map well before Richard Wagner.  Her "Residence" is a confectionary residence, with the Italianate Hofgarten adjoining.  Classical mermaid statues...

 Allees of trees...

 Romantic statues rising out of pools...

 And inviting statuesque caryatids supporting a balcony on the Residence.
