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.
