Hanover offers a wide range of sights that reflect the history, culture, and architecture of the capital of Lower Saxony. The city is home to several important museums, including the State Museum with collections on art and natural history, and the Sprengel Museum for modern art. Historic buildings such as the New Town Hall with its large dome and the medieval Market Church shape the cityscape. The Herrenhausen Gardens rank among the most important Baroque garden complexes in Europe and extend over a large area in the northern part of the city. The Maschsee, an artificial lake created in the 1930s, serves as a recreational area. Other attractions include the reconstructed Leibniz House, the Aegidien Church as a war memorial, and the historic Red Thread that guides visitors to the main points of the Old Town.
