Celle Castle, Royal palace in Celle, Germany

The four-wing palace complex displays Renaissance architecture with a white facade, stately rooms, and gardens surrounded by protective moats.

Founded in 1292 as a fortified tower, the castle evolved into a residence for the Dukes of Brunswick-Lüneburg from the 14th century until 1705.

The castle contains the oldest operational Baroque theatre in Europe, presenting regular performances and maintaining traditions from the 17th century.

The Residence Museum opens from May to October, offering guided tours through State Apartments, kitchens, and the Renaissance Palace Chapel.

The castle houses substantial silver artifacts crafted by local artisans and maintains a collection of early Protestant art in its chapel.
