    Schloss Wilhelmshöhe is located in the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe in Kassel. The castle was designed from 1786 to 1798 in the style of classicism and was designed for Landgrave Wilhelm IX. (from 1803 Elector Wilhelm I) built.

    It is known internationally for its current use as a museum, which contains, among other things, the Antikensammlung and the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister. Very important is also the museum in the Weißenstein wing with the only authentic remaining rooms of the landgraves.

    On 23 June 2013, the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe was recognized with the castle as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
