Fantaisie Castle is in Eckersdorf-Donndorf, five kilometers west of Bayreuth.
It was built as a further summer residence (after the Hermitage) for the Margrave couple Friedrich and Wilhelmine of Brandenburg-Bayreuth.
The Garden Art Museum is located in the chateau building.
The castle has a beautiful, large park.

The park around Fantaisie Castle, which was created under different owners, combines design elements from the Rococo, Sensitivity and Historicism style phases.
Three years after the death of his wife Wilhelmine, Margrave Friedrich began building a new palace, but did not live to see the completion. His daughter Elisabeth Friederike Sophie received the property in 1763 and had a late Baroque garden laid out there by 1780.
