The iconic wooden houses and lamps in the old town make this pretty Lower Saxony city the ideal place to stroll around and enjoy a fantasy setting in real life.
Daily life in a fairy tale setting
Just like in the fairy tales, over the centuries many dukes and knights have lived in the beautiful city of Celle on the banks of the River Aller. The majesty of the 13th-century Ducal Palace, later renovated in Renaissance and Baroque styles, together with the picturesque wooden houses and lamps mean the fairy-tale atmosphere is still very much alive today. The essential attractions in Celle are St. Mary’s Town Church, the Great Synagogue, City Hall, Hoppener Haus and the Kunstmuseum.
