Hotel Utspann, Celle

In the year 1644 the gabled timber-framed house was build in front of "Altenceller Tor" (the old city gates). Since the travellers with their horse-drawn carriages were not permitted to remain after dark within the city walls, the house was used as an inn and as a place to unhitch the horses for the night. Due to its location, next to the "Magnusgraben", the building was later used as a tannery. The ownership of the building went to a Jewish family after the brook was filled. The local synagoge is also located in the adjacent houses.

After the brook was reopened the building was once again used as a tannery until the beginning of this century. 1986 in keeping with the tradition of an inn, this historical building was artfully restored, maintaining the original style and interior decor.

Today you’ll find in the lovingly restored historic building, a three tavern. The hotel rooms are artfully furnished with antiques, having either a bath or a shower, toilet, phone, modem connection and of course cable-television.
