Individual Sights in CelleSight 1: Französischer Garten
The French Garden in Celle, in the German state of Lower Saxony, is a public park in the south of the historic old town or Altstadt. On both sides of a straight avenue of lime trees forming its east–west axis are flowerbeds, lawns, copses and a pond with a fountain. Its current appearance is no longer that of a true French Garden, but rather that of an English Garden. Laid out towards the end of the 17th century as a Baroque courtyard and leisure garden by French gardeners, Perronet and Dahuron, the gardens were given their present shape in the mid-19th century based on plans by the inspector of gardens, Schaumburg.
Sight 2: Direktorenwohnhaus
The Director's Residence is a building in the style of Neues Bauen in Celle, Lower Saxony. It was built in 1930 according to the plans of the architect Otto Haesler as a residence for the director of the nearby Gymnasium Ernestinum. The building, which is now a listed building, has been used as an art gallery since 2006.
Sight 3: Reformierte Kirche
The Reformed Church, the church building of the Evangelical Reformed congregation in Celle, Lower Saxony, belongs to the Evangelical Reformed Church. It was built in 1700 for the Huguenot community of the residential city and is the only surviving Huguenot church building in northwestern Germany.
