In a plain halftimbered house with an imposing interior stands the oldest surviving half-timbered synagogue of northern germany, built about 1740 originally as the back premises on a plot "Im Kreise 24". It shelters a small museum with changing exhibitions to different themes of jewish history, also a standing exhibition of the history of the jews in Celle. Today the synagoge is used for events and as a prayer house for the since 1997 new Jewish community Celle e.V
