The cornerstone for Herrenhausen Palace in the Grosser Garten was laid as early as 1640. In the following centuries, the building was redesigned several times, including changes by Georg Laves. He was the architect who gave it its final, classicistic look. Destroyed during World War II, it was finally rebuilt according to the original plans in 2013. It houses the Museum Schloss Herrenhausen as well as a modern convention centre.

Construction of the original Leine Palace began in 1637. From 1714, King George I had its interior reconstructed, with magnificent decorations. After a fire, the north-west wing had to be rebuilt. Further constructional changes were made by Georg Laves between 1815 and 1835. Among other details, he added the classicistic portico, resembling the example at Carlton House palace in London. Today, the Leineschloss houses the Landtag – the state parliament of Lower Saxony, which is currently being renovated.

The Palace of the Guelphs is today the main building of the University of Hannover. The palace is surrounded by the Welfengarden – a green oasis which is used by students and residents of the neighbouring quarter Nordstadt. In front of the palace the town’s landmark of Lower Saxony is placed – the Niedersachsenross (horse of Lower Saxony) which was designed by Friedrich Wolf.
