Calden

The landscape around Calden is gently rolling farmland on the northern fringe of the Habichtswald, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. This small municipality in Hesse lies northwest of Kassel and includes Kassel-Calden Airport, a regional transport link for northern Hesse. Its principal cultural landmark is Schloss Wilhelmsthal, a Rococo palace built for Landgrave Wilhelm VIII of Hesse-Kassel between 1743 and 1761. The palace and its formal grounds preserve the character of an 18th-century courtly residence, giving Calden a notable historical focus beyond its rural setting.
