It is in the municipality of Wonsees in the district of Kulmbach, Bavaria. The 13-hectare garden incorporates natural rock outcrops of the Franconian Jura and the medieval castle of Zwernitz. Work on it began under Frederick, Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth and was completed by his wife Margravine Wilhelmine.
