Big greenhouse (Kassel)
The large greenhouse is located in the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe in Kassel and was built in 1822/23 by the court architect Johann Conrad Bromeis under Elector Wilhelm II for the cultivation of precious exotic plants. The original dome-like central building was later replaced by a more massive palm house. The filigree iron and glass construction was a pioneer in Germany. Some historical plants are kept in the large greenhouse. It is managed by the Museumslandschaft Hessen Kassel and can be visited from the 1st of Advent to May.
