Markgrafenmuseum — Attraction in Bavaria

Charming complex of buildings devoted to the history of the city of Ansbach, the era of the Hohenzollern margraves (the last one sold his principalities to Prussia in 1791 before it became a part of the newly launched Kingdom of Bavaria in 1806) as well as the striking and still unsolved criminal case of 'Kaspar Hauser', a foundling and possibly heir to the Baden throne, who was killed locally in 1833.
