Welcome!
Dear Visitors following in the footsteps of the Guelphs,
thank you for visiting our new homepage and your interest in "tracing the footsteps of the Royal House of Hanover".
For centuries, the history of the former Kingdom of Hanover and of the present-day State of Lower Saxony was closely intertwined with the story of the Electors and Kings of Hanover. When George Louis, Elector of Hanover, ascended the British throne as King George I in 1714, this marked the beginning of the 123-year reign of the House of Guelph over Great Britain, where it was known as the House of Hanover. As a result, the Guelphs, the oldest royal dynasty in Europe, left a decisive imprint on European, American and world history.
Numerous testimonies to the days when the region was ruled by the House of Guelph are still to be found in and around Hanover today. Not only the family seat at Marienburg Castle but also the City of Hanover with the Herrenhausen Gardens and the town of Celle with its former royal residence afford insights into courtly life in days gone by.
We would like to invite you to set out on a royal journey of discovery to the cultural treasures of the Guelph domains, and to enjoy the great variety of events and concerts that take place at these venues. We have put together a number of package deals for you. But we would also be pleased to offer individual programmes put together specially for you or your party.
We hope you will enjoy your journey, and wish you a host of memorable experiences.
We are looking forward to your visit!
