Description

Le parc Wilhelmshöhe est un parc public situé dans la ville de Cassel en Hesse, en Allemagne. Il a été inscrit au Patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO en 2013. La colline formant le parc possède en son sommet la Statue d'Hercule et à sa base le Château Wilhelmshöhe.
Descendant la longue pente d'une colline couronnée par la statue géante d'Hercule, les jeux d'eau monumentaux de Wilhelmshöhe furent créés à partir de 1689 par le landgrave Charles Ier de Hesse-Cassel autour d'un axe est-ouest. D'autres éléments ont été apportés par la suite. Des réservoirs et canaux aménagés derrière le monument d'Hercule apportent l'eau au système complexe de dispositifs hydropneumatiques alimentant le vaste théâtre d'eau baroque du site, sa grotte, ses fontaines et sa grande cascade de 350 mètres de long.
