Old Post Office "Alter Posthof"

Historical structure
Once a postal station from 1751 to 1861, the Alter Posthof now charms visitors with shops and dining around its picturesque courtyard.
Between 1751 and 1861, the Alter Posthof served as the local post station and played a central role in the communication network of Neustadt am Rübenberge. Today, this historic courtyard has been lovingly preserved and repurposed, blending centuries-old architecture with a vibrant modern atmosphere. Around the charming inner courtyard, small boutiques and a welcoming restaurant create a lively meeting place that invites visitors to linger and enjoy the special ambience. The carefully restored buildings retain their historic character, offering a glimpse into the past while harmoniously integrating contemporary life. Whether strolling through the arcaded walkways, exploring local shops, or relaxing in the peaceful courtyard setting, the Alter Posthof conveys a unique sense of time and place. Easily accessible and barrier-free, the site is ideal for families, groups, and individual travellers alike. It stands as a fine example of how cultural heritage and modern urban life coexist, making it a delightful destination for anyone wishing to experience authentic local history within a warm and inviting environment.
