The Great Garden of Hanover is one of the famous European Baroque gardens. The Duke of Calenberg started building the garden as early as 1638. Over the past three centuries, the owners of the garden have changed dynasties, and the garden has been remodeled and expanded to a great extent. In the mid-17th century, the garden was only half its current size. It was not until 1714 that the then-elector Madame Sophia of Hanover remodeled it in the Baroque style of Lower Saxony and expanded it to 50 hectares, which is the size of today.Hannover · 2.8km from downtown

The Old Town Hall is located in the center of Hannover. Part of it was built as early as 1410. It is a typical old German-style building. After many expansions, the color is brick red and has Gothic architectural elements. There are well-preserved medieval street scenes here.

The old town of Hanover is a beautiful place with a great environment. The service facilities in the old town are also very good. Many family ancestral homes have very unique design styles, and the entire space layout is very unique.
