Celle Private Walking Tour

Celle is a picturesque medieval town in Germany. The 400 timber-framed houses and a ducal palace dating back to the 13th century is the reason why it is so famous among the tourists. Towering over the town is the Celle castle, which combines Renaissance and Baroque elements and is home to a museum, a chapel, and a theater. It was used as the main residence of the dukes of Saxe-Wittenberg and Brunswick-Lüneburg. Not to forget is also the serene 18th-century French garden, designed as a baroque courtyard. But the modern days have marked their presence here as well, thanks to the ultramodern Kunstmuseum, illuminated during the night as a 24 hours museum.
