Celle—A Charming Royal Capital

A charming royal seat with Europe’s largest collection of half-timbered buildings

From half-timbered houses to Bauhaus architecture, the Welf Castle, a 24-hour art museum, regional specialties, and a leisurely shopping stroll: Celle is all about diversity. Here, tradition and modernity blend together in perfect harmony. Even today, you can still follow in the footsteps of the dukes in Celle. In addition to the castle with its residence museum, Baroque theater, and chapel, the gardens and parks invite you to take a leisurely stroll. Fans of the New Building Movement will find stone monuments to architect Otto Haesler throughout the cityscape. And, of course, there’s no shortage of culinary delights. Celle—the gateway to the Lüneburg Heath—is always worth a visit.

Sustainability Out of Conviction

Celle is Northern Germany’s first sustainable city and has been certified as such since 2017. Many hotels, shops, the Congress Union, and the Celler Badeland have committed to protecting the environment and conserving resources. And the number is growing. Many owner-operated shops don’t just pay attention to sustainability—they live by it out of conviction.

Stay at one of the romantic hotels or take advantage of the central RV park!
