Probably the most important destination for visitors: Schloss Wilhelmshöhe. It has been built at the end of the 18th century, a time Germany was ruled by obscure and not so obscure dukes, princes and lords. Their remainders are worth to be seen.
It houses - I guess - one of Europe's most important collection of dutch, german and italian painters from the 16th and 17th century; after being renovated, this museum is worth more than one visit.
It's embedded in a wonderful park area, created by english garden architects of the 18th century.

The spacious Aue Park was developed as of 1570 under the former landgrave Wilhelm IV.
It includes the beautiful Orangerie as well as several gardens and channels within 125 hectares of land.
