    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 then: the above the Fountain Pond in Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe located Apollo Temple was built by Heinrich Christoph Jussow from 1816 to 1818. His namesake is the Greco-Roman god of light, the arts and the divination. The building is popularly called the Friendship or Jussow Temple. The round temple crowned by a knoll was and is a popular motif for artists. It consists of an interior and an arcade. Newlyweds bridal couples like to be photographed in front of the temple.

      The Jussow Temple was built from 1817 to 1818 according to plans by Heinrich Christoph Jussow. The temple stands at the fountain pond at the end of the Peneus Cascades. He finds his role model in Stowe, England. The Jussow Temple is still often referred to as the Temple of Apollo. The confusion stems from the fact that the Jussow Temple was built up the slope shortly after the demolition of the wooden Apollo Temple.

        The Jussow Temple was built in 1817/1818 right next to the fountain pond. The temple with an open colonnade and a closed interior also finds its model in Stowe, England. Today a World Heritage Site and a wonderful photo opportunity.
