In Hanover, there are many interesting religious attractions. One of the most interesting is considered to be the church of St. Egidius. The very first church in this place was built about a thousand years ago, and the building of the church which guests of the city can see today, began in the 14th century. The religious monument was badly damaged during the Second World War. In the church, only a bell tower and part of its frame was preserved. The building was intentionally not reconstructed and left as a reminder of the terrible military times.
Another very interesting landmark is the House of Leibniz. One of the most famous mathematicians and philosophers lived in this house for 18 years. This historical building was also seriously damaged during the war period, but it was completely restored. Today, it houses a museum dedicated to the life and work of the famous mathematician. Next to the cherished house is the university, which was also named after Leibniz.
The Royal Gardens of Herrenhausen are located in the historical part of Hanover. It is a complex of beautiful landscaped gardens, founded by the princess Sophia. Equipped in the 18th century, this well-groomed landscaped park remains one of the most vivid examples of baroque art in the world today. In addition to ornamental plants, the garden is decorated with a lot of sculptures and fountains, some of them more than one hundred years old.
