Celle

Why go

The old center survived the Second World War largely intact, preserving an unusually broad collection of timber-framed houses. Celle Castle recalls the town's centuries as a residence of the Brunswick-Lüneburg dukes. The appeal lies in seeing these streets and the castle together, not in ticking off isolated monuments.

What to look for

• Timber-framed houses fill the historic center.
• Celle Castle shows Renaissance and Baroque layers.
• The town sits beside the River Aller.

Useful to know

• Walk the old-town streets before visiting the castle area.
• Use Celle as a historic-town stop if you are also exploring the Lüneburg Heath region.
