Leineschloss

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

River side

The Leineschloss (English: Leine Castle) is the former residence of the Hanoverian kings and the current seat of the Lawor Saxon diet. It was built in the 12th century as a Franciscan monastery, which was abandoned in 1533 after the Protestant Reformation. In 1636, George, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg chose the Leineschloss as his residence. In 1742 the north-west wing was renewed. Between 1816 and 1844, the architect Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves fully re-built the castle. The column porch with six corinthian columns were built during this period.

During World War II, the Leineschloss burnt out fully after British aerial bombings. The architect Dieter Oesterlen re-built the castle between 1957 and 1962.
