The attractions that the Lion City has to offer range from authentic testimonies from its founding days, through the reconstructed Ducal Palace, on to the young Happy RIZZI House. The magic of the Burgplatz, surrounded by the cathedral, Dankwarderode Castle, the State Museum and centuries-old half-timbered buildings, is unparalleled in terms of cultural history.

This district with its minster, the manor and the lake area (that was declared a nature reserve) is a graphic example of the achievements and the work of the monks.
