Wahnfried, Renaissance Revival villa in Bayreuth, Germany.
The Wahnfried building features symmetrical architecture with grand windows, classical Italian design elements, and elaborate stone decorations throughout its exterior facade.
Wilhelm Neumann completed the construction of Wahnfried in 1874, creating a residence where Richard Wagner lived until his death in 1883.
The Richard Wagner Museum at Wahnfried contains manuscripts, personal items, and extensive collections that document the composer's influence on classical music.
The museum provides guided tours in multiple languages, allowing visitors to explore both the restored living quarters and temporary exhibitions about Wagner's work.
The inscription 'Hier wo mein Wähnen Frieden fand' appears above the main entrance, reflecting Wagner's intention for the villa to be his place of peace.
