Celle
The landscape around Celle is flat riverine lowland along the Aller, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. The old town is renowned for its dense collection of more than 400 half-timbered houses, their gabled façades lining streets that retain a distinctly north German character. Celle Castle, once a residence of the dukes of Brunswick-Lüneburg, began as a medieval fortress and was later remodelled in Renaissance and Baroque styles. The town developed as an important ducal centre, while the Aller and the surrounding lowlands long supported trade, transport and agriculture. Today, its historic core brings together timber construction, brick buildings and civic spaces in a compact urban setting.
