Pfaffroda was first settled in 1209. A solid house was first built on a rocky outcrop. It was not until 1352, when the knightly family of the von Schönbergs took over the property, that it was expanded into a castle and then into a palace in 1575.

1847 The small courtyard between the manor house and the outbuildings was added and a new distillery was built in it (today the main staircase).

1867 King John of Saxony visited the von Schönberg family.

1872 The crypt chapel was built in the palace park.

1907 & 1914 King Friedrich August visits

1929 On the occasion of the 50th birthday of
