UNESCO Adds 19 New Sites To Its Collection

Bergpark Wilhelmshohe—Germany

Landgrave Carl of Hesse-Kassel begun exposing monumental water displays of Wilhelmshohe in 1689 around east-west axis which was further developed in 19th century. The monuments consisted of a giant statue of Hercules behind which reservoirs and channels supply water to a complex system of hydro-pneumatic devices that supply the site's large Baroque water theatre, grotto, fountains and 350-metre long Grand Cascade. Further, channels and waterways wind across the axis, supplying water to a series of dramatic waterfalls and wild rapids, a grand fountain, lake and secluded ponds that enrich the romantic garden created in the 18th century by Carl's great-grandson, Elector Wilhelm I.
