A major attraction is the baroque Herrenhausen Palace and Herrenhausen Gardens, established by the House of Hanover.

The palace was largely destroyed in World War II and not rebuilt until 2013.

The 19th-century "Welfenmausoleum" in the Gardens is the burial place of Ernest Augustus, King of Hanover, and after World War II the remains of King George I of Great Britain along with his parents' were removed from the crypt of Leineschloss and reinterred there.[2]
