Schloss Wilhelmsthal, Rococo château in Calden, Germany
The château features a three-wing layout with French-made furnishings, valuable wall paneling, and numerous stucco decorations throughout its interior spaces.
Built between 1743 and 1761 under Landgrave Wilhelm VIII of Hesse-Kassel, the château served as a summer residence and hunting lodge north of the River Main.
The rooms maintain their original Rococo style with furniture crafted by German artisans Abraham and David Roentgen alongside French masterpieces from the 18th century.
The castle museum offers guided tours of royal living quarters, staff areas, and a historical kitchen, while the surrounding park remains open until sunset.
The château sits at the lowest point of its park, contrary to traditional design, with a fan-shaped three-axis system extending upward in all directions.
