Stade

　　Stade is a city in the German state of Lower Saxony, located on the banks of the Elbe River. It was first documented in the year 994. As one of the oldest cities in northern Germany, it has been continuously inhabited for over 1,200 years.

　　The old town of Stade is exquisitely charming, with narrow alleys, impressive buildings, and ancient cobblestone streets forming a picturesque townscape. Many of the historic buildings in the old town are well preserved, among which the Old Town Hall, the Old Harbor, and the 19th-century castle are particularly popular. The river has played a significant role in the city’s development and continues to do so today, with most tourist activities still centered around the historic harbor. The Stade Art Gallery, housed in a typical warehouse, is renowned in the art world for its high-quality and high-level exhibitions. In addition, the Open-Air Museum, the Local History Museum, and Agathenburg Castle are also worth visiting.
