The marble bath was built from 1722 to 1728 under Landgrave Karl von Hessen-Kassel. The important Roman sculptor Pierre Etienne Monnot (1657-1733) created the magnificent interior architecture with marble sculptures and wall reliefs with representations from the Metamorphoses of Ovid, as well as medallions with portrait busts of Landgrave Karl of Hesse-Kassel and his wife, Landgravine Marie Amalie of Courland. The Kassel marble bath represents one of the most important ensembles of Roman secular sculpture of the early 18th century.
