Rock of Love and next door the Pansitz

Crack in the rock face through which the path leads

One of many impressive rock formations in the rock garden.

The former castle well dates back to around 1200. It was located in the Zwinger area of the outer bailey. It carried water until 1951, after which it dried up. It is 50 meters deep, 40 meters of which are carved into bare rock.

From 1891 to 1952, water was pumped into this well from the water house in the Kainachtal valley. Residents then collected the water in barrels.

The castle is located on a narrow dolomite cliff at an elevation of approximately 500 meters. It is open to visitors from April to October. Since 1745, the castle has been part of the Sanspareil Rock Garden, created by Wilhelmine of Brandenburg-Bayreuth.

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.
