The Temple of Aeolus stood on the rock dedicated to the wind god Aeolus, accessible only via two rock bridges. The temple collapsed during a severe thunderstorm in 1830. The stairs leading up to the top are dilapidated and are now closed.

A mighty rock arch forms the auditorium of the Ruin Theater, built in 1747. The orchestra pit, the backdrop arches, and the back wall are made of rubble stone. The 86-seat mini-theater is used by the Bayreuth Studio Stage for performances in July and August. The ambiance of this small Rococo theater transports the audience to the world of the 18th century.

Stone steps lead to the "Schöne Aussicht" (Beautiful View). There, many tall trees obscure the view, but you can still see the ruined theater from above.

The area around the medieval Zwernitz Castle had served as a hunting ground for the Margraves since early times. In 1744, the plan was born to create something like a wonder garden at this remote location. From 1744 to 1748, there was a flurry of construction activity, as the naturally grown rocky grove was to be decorated with a small palace, a belvedere, and a ruined theater by the time of their daughter Friederike's wedding. Upon seeing the rock garden in 1746, a lady-in-waiting is said to have exclaimed: "Ah, c'est sans pareil" – "This is without equal!", whereupon Margrave Friedrich ordered the renaming of the town of Zwernitz to Sanspareil that same year. Exotic-looking cottages and rustic huts were built on some of the rocks, serving as retreats in the "Sanspareil Hermitage." Many of these buildings fell into disrepair over time or were sold for demolition in the 19th century.

"It's without parallel!" – "This is without equal!" a lady-in-waiting to Margrave Frederick is said to have exclaimed when she saw the bizarre rock formation in the beech grove not far from Zwernitz Castle. In this extraordinary landscape, the Oriental Building and the kitchen building opposite, which served as a venue for festivities at the Bayreuth court, were built between 1744 and 1748 according to plans by the court architect Joseph St. Pierre. These two buildings are grouped around a detached garden parterre, which was reconstructed in 1984 based on a copperplate engraving from 1748.
