Herrenhäuser Allee, Hannover
The almost 2 km long alley was built in 1726 as a connection between the city and the castle. Four rows of lime trees form three parallel walkways, the one in the middle was reserved for carriages, one for riders and one for pedestrians. As a focal point at the west end of the alley, a pavilion was built from 1817 to 1819, designed by Laves.
During World War II, the alley was heavily damaged and completely restored by planting 1 300 lime trees between 1972 and 1974.
