The town church St. Marien in Celle stands prominently at the Stechbahn and Markt, framed by historic half-timbered houses.

It is a special church, because until today it is the Church of the Holy Sepulcher of Queen Caroline Mathilde of Denmark and the Dukes of Celle.

The construction of the three-aisled Gothic hall church coincides with the time the city was founded, in 1308 it was consecrated by the Bishop of Hildesheim as St. Mary's Church.
In the years 1676 - 1698 the building was provided with a barrel vault and baroque.

Particularly worth seeing are the altar of 1613, the grave monuments of the Guelph dukes (16th / 17th century) in the choir, the emporium paintings (17th century) and the baroque organ reconstructed in 1999 based on the original plans of 1687.

Turmbläser
Every working day at 4:45 pm and Saturday / Sunday at 9:45 am and 4:45 pm, the tower blower climbs the almost 75 m high tower of St. Mary's Church and blows a chorale in all four directions with his trumpet.
The prince crypt in the city church
In the princely tomb under the church, the Danish queen Caroline Mathilde is still buried in her ceremonial coffin and the dukes of Celle. The tomb was created in 1576 by the Dukes of Brunswick-Lüneburg
Guided tours of the tomb are only possible on Wednesday and Thursday at 16:00 h.

From the top of the church tower you can even see the North Sea !!!
In the immediate vicinity is the famous restaurant chain with fresh fish rolls and other delicious fish dishes right next door ;-)
