The Hercules, Kassel's landmark, looks down on the city and the surrounding area from a height of 530 meters. The building consists of three parts. The basis is formed by the grotto with the fountains, above it the open Belvedere and then the pyramid with the almost eight and a half meter high figure of Hercules. The complex was completed in 1717 and the figure of Hercules is one of the earliest copper-wrought monumental statues in the world. It was created by the Augsburg goldsmith Johann Jacob Anthoni.

A visit to the viewing platform is very worthwhile and offers a sensational view.

In summer you can climb the Tower of Hercules up to the pyramid. Great view!
