The Castle was built between 1700 and 1704 according to plans by Antonio della Porta and completed by Gottfried von Gedeler after della Porta’s death. Christian Ernst, Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, gave it as a wedding present in 1703 to his third wife Elisabeth Sophie, 30 years his younger and stepsister to the first Prussian King, Frederick I.
