Wahnfried is Richard Wagner's villa in Bayreuth, Germany, built between 1872 and 1874 with financing from King Ludwig II of Bavaria. The Berlin architect Wilhelm Neumann drew the plans, which the architect Carl Wolfel supervised on site with modifications suggested by Wagner himself, and the composer's family moved in on 28 April 1874 while work was still underway. An inscription over the entrance reads, in translation, that here where his delusions found peace the house should be named Wahnfried, joining the German words for delusion and peace. The house, owned by the city of Bayreuth, has operated as the Richard Wagner Museum since 1976 and holds the graves of Wagner and his wife Cosima in its grounds.
