Celle Vacation Guide

Celle is a small medieval town and capital of the district of Celle, in Lower Saxony, Germany.

The town is situated in the southernmost part of the Lüneburg Heath on the banks of the river Aller.

The buildings in Celle’s old town center date back to the 16th century, among them numerous (and some 480 restored) half-timber houses, making Celle an important city for tourism in the southern Lüneburg Heath region.

The most impressive building is the ducal palace, Schloss Celle, which was built in 1530 at the site of the former castle. Another major attraction is the Stadtkirche (town church, 1308) with its white tower, from where the town trumpeter blows a fanfare twice a day (an old tradition that was revived as a tourist attraction).
