Staatspark Wilhelmsbad, Historical park in Hanau, Germany
The park extends across 37.5 hectares of landscaped grounds, featuring structures from the late Baroque period and an early English garden design.
Prince Wilhelm of Hessen-Kassel commissioned the construction of this former spa resort in 1777, using funds from renting Hessian soldiers to the British crown.
The preserved Baroque theater, Comoedienhaus, contains original stage machinery from 1781, representing one of the few remaining examples in Germany.
The State Palaces and Gardens of Hesse maintain the park grounds, offering guided tours and rental spaces for meetings in historical buildings.
The park houses a wooden carousel from 1780, which remains operational and stands as the oldest preserved carousel in Germany.
