This castle was build by Friedrich Wilhelm von Erdmannsdorff, an architect and friend of sovereign Franz, in the years 1769 - 1773 and it replaced an older hunting castle. The construction is influenced by english and italian examples and was the first classicistic styled building in Germany. From the beginning the park was opened for ordinary people. Today the house is used as a museum and meeting point
