Celle Castle

Celle, Germany, Germany

Celle Castle, located in Celle, Germany, is the largest castle in the southern Lüneburg Heath region and was a key residence of the House of Brunswick-Lüneburg.

Originally built around 980 AD as a fortified wall tower guarding a ford over the River Aller, it evolved through expansions, including Otto the Strict's additions in 1292 and Renaissance-style updates by Ernest I in the 1530s. Duke George William transformed it further from 1670, blending Renaissance and Baroque elements, while it later served as a summer residence for the Hanover royal family.

Today, visitors can explore its preserved Renaissance chapel—the only one north of the Alps with intact interiors—baroque staterooms, Germany's oldest operating baroque theater, and exhibits on regional history, all surrounded by beautiful gardens.
