Hanau-Wilhelmsbad, Cultural heritage monument and railway station in Hanau, Germany.

The Wilhelmsbad State Park extends across 37.5 hectares of land, featuring winding paths, ornamental buildings, and numerous scenic viewpoints throughout the grounds.

Prince Wilhelm of Hessen-Kassel initiated the development of this spa resort in 1777, drawing inspiration from the design elements of traditional English landscape gardens.

The park contains the Comoedienhaus Theatre and a Doll Museum, which presents collections of historical toys and puppets from different time periods.

The railway station provides direct transportation access to the park grounds, where visitors can explore various attractions including the restored carousel and themed pathways.

The park houses the oldest fixed carousel in the world, dating from 1780, and features an artificial ruin built as a personal retreat for Prince Wilhelm.
