Schloss Fantaisie

The Schloss Fantaisie is a castle, situated 3.1 miles west of the city Bayreuth in the community Eckersdorf.

When Friedrich Ludwig von Lüchau died in 1757, the castle fell back to Frederick, Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth.

Because of many modifications there is not much left from the original castle but you can see a replica of the "Spindler-Kabinett", a wooden room with intarsia work of the brothers Johann Friedrich and Heinrich Wilhelm Spindler.

In the autumn of 1937, Gauleiter Wächtler oversaw the remodeling of the palace for its conversion into the Reichsschule des NS-Lehrerbundes.

The architects for the project were Alfred Locke of Bayreuth and Ernst Max Jahn of Leipzig.
