After the completion of the Hermitage in Bayreuth, Margravine Wilhelmina and Margrave Friedrich acquired an old hunting estate which they transformed into a rock garden and called it «Sanspareil» (Without equal). At the edge of the grove stood the Oriental building, fitted out in the Bayreuth Rococo style making it an example of Franconian court art. Further architectonic features of this 17ha/42 acre park include caves, grottoes and ruined theatres.
