Germany: Wilhelmshöhe Castle

Today I got two postcards from Germany.

One of them shows the Wilhelmshöhe Castle in the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe in Kassel. The Wilhelmshöhe Castle was built between 1786 and 1798 in the Neoclassical style at the behest of Landgrave Wilhelm IX of Hesse. It was once used as residence of Jérôme Bonaparte, King of Westphalia, after his old residence burned down in 1811. Between September 1870 and March 1871 Napoleon III was held in captivity in the castle. Today houses the Wilhelmshöhe Castle various museums including the Gallery of the Old Masters. Since 2013 is the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
