10 years UNESCO World Heritage

From 21 May and until 17 September 2023, Hessen Kassel Heritage will be taking visitors to Wilhelmshöhe Palace on a virtual journey back to the origins of Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe. The exhibition “Bergpark reloaded” shows, among other things, a virtual insight into the actual construction plans of Landgrave Carl and thus offers visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in a cultural landscape of superlatives. The digital model of the Bergpark was created in cooperation with the TU Darmstadt, Department of Digital Design, and provides a fascinating insight into this gigantic baroque building project.
