Landestrost Castle

Landestrost Castle in Neustadt, built 1573-1584 by Herzog Erich II. zu Braunschweig-Lüneburg, is one of the biggest and oldest castles of the Hannover Region, housing an archive, of peat museum and an exhibition on the castle's history. While its beautiful renaissance appearance will catch you at once, the banks of the River Leine are put to highly contemporary use by providing the setting for regular events like exhibitions, concerts or cabarets.

Do & See

Hannover boasts a selection of tourist attractions that – from unique sights and activities to relaxing gardens and square – attract numerous visitors throughout the whole year. During the day, you can sail on idyllic Lake Steinhude or ride through a picturesque heartland scenery on the back of a horse, and in the evening, big-city delights can be enjoyed at the opera, at a concert or aa variety show. While its museums cover subjects from history and art to literature and music, the architecture of both the city's centre and the outspread areas is a feast for the eyes that also happens – for both, in- and outside – at the State Opera and the State Theatre, which will try and succeed in alluding your taste.
