Wilhelmshöhe visitor centre


Visitors approaching the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe from the city side and intending to start their visit to the World Heritage Site at the height of the palace can learn everything that's good to know about their planned exploration at the Wilhelmshöhe visitor centre. Whether they are mainly interested in the historic buildings, the exhibitions or the park, the friendly Hessen Kassel Heritage staff are always happy to help. You can obtain all of the necessary information from them, as well as souvenirs and the odd refreshment.

You can also access the Bergpark app at the visitor centre, as well as the "100 Masterpieces" app. Both are the perfect digital companions on your tour of the World Heritage Site.

Stopover at the old station building

The second opening took place exactly 110 years after the first, and a former station building became a visitor centre.

The old station building constructed by the Kassel architect Georg Karl Wilhelm Kegel in 1898 was converted in 2008 after a thorough restoration. The listed building with its charming decorative elements and the striking half-timbered upper floor. In close cooperation with the local heritage conservation office, the Kassel-based architecture practice Schultze & Schulze ensured that the original character of the building with its waiting room can now be experienced again but at the same time meets all of the requirements of a modern visitor centre.
