## Commentary

Schloss Wilhelmshöhe was built for Landgrave Frederick II of Hessen-Kassel. In 1786, Heinrich Christoph Jussow presented an ideal project, but the commission was given to Simon Louis du Ry \(1726-1799\). Finally the long series of variegated and innovative designs was reduced to a conventional scheme as a three-wing complex and constructed by Jussow on English lines. The photo shows one of the side wings.
