French Garden

The French Garden is a public park in Celle featuring tree-lined avenues of lindens, open lawns, flower beds, and a circular pond with a fountain at its center. The layout spreads across a spacious area with different zones for walking, sitting, and playing.

The garden was created in the late 1600s as a baroque court garden under the direction of Duke Georg Wilhelm. French gardeners shaped the original design and brought European style to the park.

The garden is named after a royal favorite and displays a memorial from the 1700s at a prominent location with an urn and a female figure. The space served for many years as a place of remembrance for people connected to Celle.

The park is easy to reach on foot and offers wide paths for walking and seating areas for rest. The best time to visit is during warmer months when the flower gardens are in full bloom.

The central pond was originally an important gathering spot for water activities and served as a mirror of the baroque garden design. Its shape and size were carefully planned to enhance the harmony and balance of the overall layout.
