Leineschloss

On the south side of Hannover's old town, on the banks of the river, stands the Leineschloss, built in the 17th C. as the residence of Duke Georg von Calenberg and altered in neo-classical style by G. L. Laves between 1817 and 1842. Rebuilt in 1958-62, it now houses the Landtag of Lower Saxony.
