Simonburg Ruins

At the end of the 19th century, the banker Alexander Moritz Simon had a private city park created. He had a small knight's castle built in the middle of the park. The park no longer exists today, and only a ruin remains of the knight's castle. However, this was restored and expanded to a residential building.

Maybe this is actually historicist-romantic kitsch, but interesting.

Herrenhausen Palace is originally a Baroque building from the 17th century. It is the reference and starting point for the planning and design of the Great Garden in Hanover. In the 19th century it was redesigned in the spirit of classicism. As a result of the air raids on the city of Hanover during the Second World War, the main building burned down completely on October 18, 1943. In 2011/2012, the classicist palace was reconstructed with financial help from the Volkswagen Foundation. A conference center and a museum were set up and opened in 2013.
