    In 1886, Franz Liszt traveled to Bayreuth to attend the festival, which was directed by his daughter Cosima, Richard Wagner's widow. At the time of the trip, Liszt was already seriously ill. He died on July 31, 1886, a few days after his arrival, at the age of 74 from the effects of pneumonia. Liszt was buried in the Bayreuth city cemetery. The house where he died in Untere Siegfriedstrasse (today: Wahnfriedstrasse 9) opposite the Villa Wahnfried has housed the Franz Liszt Museum since 1993.

      Franz Liszt lived in this house of the head forester's family on his later visits to Bayreuth.
      He arrived here with a bad cold on July 21, 1886 and died 10 days later on July 31 of pneumonia.

        Franz Liszt lived in the house that now houses the museum during his stays in Bayreuth. He died there on July 31, 1886.[3]

        The house was built in 1877 by Carl Wölfel.[4] It is a simple, two-story Wilhelminian-style house made of red bricks and with a hipped roof. A ten-step side staircase leads to the entrance on the raised ground floor. In 1945, the house was badly damaged by a bomb. In the early 1990s, the house became the property of the city of Bayreuth.[4] The museum was opened on October 22, 1993, Franz Liszt's 182nd birthday.[1] The museum is located on the raised ground floor in Liszt's former apartment. Structural changes were necessary for it to be used as a museum, such as breaking through walls.[4]

        The house is located in the immediate vicinity of the Wahnfried house, which belonged to his son-in-law[1] Richard Wagner
