The current palace, designed in the classicist style, was built between 1786 and 1794 for Landgrave Wilhelm IX of Hesse-Kassel (from 1803 Elector Wilhelm I) based on designs by the architects Simon Louis du Ry (Weißenstein wing and church wing) and Heinrich Christoph Jussow (central wing). The electors and landgraves of Hesse-Kassel spent their "summer holidays" in Wilhelmshöhe Palace, which is over 200 years old. Today it is a museum for important art and cultural collections. Landgrave Wilhelm IX had Wilhelmshöhe Palace built as the center of his mountain park. Originally it consisted of three individual buildings. Later, Elector Wilhelm II had these buildings connected. This is how the palace acquired its current closed and massive appearance. The imperial family used Wilhelmshöhe Palace as a summer residence until 1918. It was badly damaged in the Second World War and gradually rebuilt from 1945 onwards. Today the left wing serves as an administration building. The central building houses unique collections such as the Old Masters Picture Gallery. The museum in the right part of the building (Weißenstein wing) is currently being renovated and normally displays the historically furnished rooms of the Landgraves.

The Lac is the largest of the ponds, it is located below Wilhelmshöhe Palace and is surrounded by a walking path and old trees. It was created between 1785 and 1791 by Heinrich Christoph Jussow. There are several benches right on the dam where visitors can sit down and enjoy a beautiful view of the small lake. On the south-west bank facing the mountain is the rose garden, which was created in 1790 and is particularly notable for its diverse collection of different roses.

Fantastically beautiful leaf tunnel.. really has something

Wilhelmshöhe Castle is located in the Wilhelmshöhe mountain park in Kassel. The castle, designed in the classicism style from 1786 to 1798, was built for Landgrave Wilhelm IX. (from 1803 Elector Wilhelm I). It is internationally known for its current use as a museum, which contains, among other things, the antique collection and the Old Masters Picture Gallery. The museum in the Weißenstein wing with the only authentic remaining rooms of the landgraves is also very important. Since June 23, 2013, the Wilhelmshöhe mountain park and the castle have been a UNESCO world heritage site. (Source: Wikipedia)
