However, the most well-known attraction in Bayreuth is the Margravial Opera House, a Baroque theater and UNESCO World Heritage Site. This ornate venue is part of what inspired famous composer Richard Wagner to move to Bayreuth. His life and legacy are celebrated every summer in Bayreuth with the Richard Wagner Festival. You can also learn about Wagner at his former residence, now the Richard Wagner Museum.
