Wilhelmsburg and its collection
Source
Wilhelmsburg, located in Hilchenbach, is a former Nassau residence and summer palace that was converted into an administrative building in 1776. This well-proportioned, massive Baroque building was constructed on older foundations and features a plastered facade with mineral paint, a slate-covered roof, and wooden mullioned windows. The building's history dates back to 1365, when it was a fortified house, and it was later named Wilhelmsburg after its new owner, Count Wilhelm of Nassau-Siegen-Hilchenbach.
