Wilhelmshöhe Palace

Highlight • Castle

You can only give something historical to the castle. This works best on a portal and I have decided for the kassel.de/kultur/sehenswuerdigkeiten/Bergpark/01927/index.html. Schloss Wilhelmshöhe was under Landgrave Wilhelm IX. Built …

Great Fountain in the Castle Pond, Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe

Highlight • Monument

Impressive, world-wide unique technical achievement. The fountain is driven only by gravity and not by a pump.

Neptune Basin and the Cascades, Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe

Highlight • Monument

Just very impressive - and a bit crazy to build something like this. But to create something special you always need people with crazy ideas.

Felseneck Pavilion, Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe

The Felseneck was created in 1794/1795 below the cascades according to the plans of Heinrich Christoph Jussow. Divided into vestibule, cloakroom and cabinet, it served as a rest and refreshment room. (Wikipedia)

View of the Teufelsbrücke and waterfall

Highlight • Bridge

Simply a very beautiful motif, the Devil's Bridge in Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe. Which was created as an arched bridge with a wooden railing. In 1826, the present Brückengitter was poured by the company Henschel.

Jussow Temple at the Fountain Pond (Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe)

Highlight • Monument

Since not much has been described here about the history of the temple, I would like to take this time. Nothing is easier than to take it from regiowiki.hna.de/Apollo-Tempel. So …

From October 3rd to 6th, 2024, the city of Kassel will be illuminating the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe, with stunning illuminations! We had the opportunity to enjoy the colorful productions and the equally impressive water features, great light art installations by international artists and fascinating 3D video projections on the palace facade of Wilhelmshöhe Palace!
An impressive …

Somehow we didn't like the Bergparkleuchten as much this time as we did last year! There were no truly spectacular light displays and almost everything was bathed in red light!
