About 71,000 people call Celle home, a town whose picturesque old centre features more than 400 timber-framed houses. On the banks of the Aller in north-central Germany, it forms the southern gateway to the Lüneburg Heath and belongs to the German Timber-Frame Road. Its Renaissance and Baroque castle adds another layer of history, recalling the years from 1378 to 1705 when Celle served as the official residence of the Lüneburg branch of the dukes of Brunswick-Lüneburg.
