What to do and see in Kassel, Hesse: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks

May 8, 2022 Toi Mattera

Dating from at least the 10th century, today Kassel is most famous internationally as the home of Documenta, an every-five-years exhibition of modern and contemporary art. In the late 17th century Kassel received a large influx of Huguenot refugees from France. During the 1800s, it became the capital of the Brothers Grimm's Fairy Tale Route. In 1943, the city was virtually razed by British bombers, leaving few old sights, but the 18th-century Wilhelmshöhe Castle overlooking the city remains.

I went on a beautiful sunny day in August with my mom. Since she is not so good on food we started our afternoon at Wilhelmshöhe Castle and walked around there to see the big water fountain.The park is beautiful and well maintained and good to walk for older people or people in a wheel chair. i would recommend to go on weekdays. I found weekends are to crowded. We finished off with a nice cool Beer in the Park Hotel's Beer garden just beside the Castle. It was a nice afternoon and I will definitely go there again.

An fine collection of amber objects, ceramics, glass, and farm implements. After a many stepped climb to the observation platform, the reward of a grand 360 view of the city and hills around it are a worthy reward.

This is where Walt Disney got his ideas. An old castle deliberately built as an ancient ruin some 300 years ago. Don't miss it if you visit Wilhelmshöhe and the Hercules monument.
