Wilhelmshöhe is a palace near Kassel. As King of Westphalia, Jérôme Bonaparte renamed it Napoleonshöhe and appointed his Head Chamberlain Heinrich von Blumenthal as its governor, with instructions to supervise extensive renovations.

After the Franco-Prussian War, the Prussian King offered the defeated Emperor Napoleon III accommodation there. The buildings were substantially destroyed during the Second World War.
