Tucked along the Hunte River in northwestern Lower Saxony, Oldenburg is a city whose character is shaped by its flat river plain and its historic role as a ducal residence. Oldenburg Castle, once home to the counts and later grand dukes of Oldenburg, now houses part of the State Museum for Art and Cultural History. The compact centre brings together the neoclassical Schlossplatz, the Lappan bell tower and pedestrian streets around the market. Beyond it, waterways, parks and cycle routes connect the city with the broad North German lowlands. Browse additional webcams from the Oldenburg area to extend your view of northwestern Lower Saxony.
