The origin of the castle was a moated castle from the 13th century, which burned down at the beginning of the 16th century. At the end of the 16th century, today's palace was built in the Renaissance style. Later, in the years 1842-1847, a wing in the neo-Gothic style was added. It is historically worth mentioning that the game of Skat was invented here in 1813.
