Wilhelmsbader Karussell is the oldest standing carousel in the world, known for its rich historical presence and location.
History
The carousel opened in 1780, and could be ridden for a small fee.
The carousel was damaged during the War of 1866, the Franco-Prussian War, as well as World War II, but restored to its former glory, in 1934.
A new restoration project began in 2007. Completed in 2016, the work cost 4.1 million euros.[1][2]
