    The palace was built in the Renaissance style at the beginning of the 17th century. An important historical event was the presence of Augustus the Strong, Frederick William I of Prussia, and his Crown Prince Frederick. They admired the fireworks display of the Zeithain camp from their windows. The two-winged Renaissance palace was specially rebuilt in the Baroque style for this spectacle. Today, it is unfortunately in a deplorable state. A society exists to save the palace. Smaller concerts are also held in the outbuildings, which serve to preserve the palace.

        Promnitz Palace, built in 1603 and rebuilt in the Baroque style in 1730, is a unique historical heritage site on the Elbe River. It was the setting for the famous Zeithain pleasure camp, where Augustus the Strong and his guests marveled at a magnificent fireworks display over the Elbe. Today, the palace is the last remaining building commemorating this spectacular event.
