Celle, Historic district capital in Lower Saxony, Germany.

The Old Town of Celle contains over 400 timber-framed buildings along cobblestone streets, forming one of the largest collections of such architecture in Germany.

The city served as the residence of the dukes of Brunswick-Lüneburg from 1378 until 1705, marking a period of substantial growth and architectural development.

The Residence Museum within Celle Castle exhibits period furniture, paintings, and decorative arts that represent the styles from the 16th through 19th centuries.

The central railway station connects Celle to Hamburg and Hannover with regular trains, while numerous parking facilities accommodate visitors exploring the Old Town.

Two automated lamp posts in the city center engage pedestrians by speaking local stories and historical facts in both German and Lower Saxon dialects.
