Hercules (Kassel)
The Hercules in Kassel is a monumental statue of Hercules standing on an octagonal pyramid and castle-like structure at the top of the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe. Built for Landgrave Charles of Hesse-Kassel to designs by Giovanni Francesco Guerniero from 1701, it is the landmark of the city. Water cascades run down from it through the park, which became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2013.
