The baroque palace stands on the site of a medieval castle that burned down in the 16th century. Today's design comes from renovation work from the 19th century. Unfortunately, the castle can only be viewed from the outside, as it is privately owned.

The roots of the complex go back to a medieval castle from the 12th century, which was replaced by a new castle after a fire in the 16th century. Over the centuries, this was gradually expanded to its current size. The castle received its Neo-Renaissance appearance during renovation work in the 19th century when it was owned by the von Watzdorf family. Used as a school from 1946 and later as a boarding school, the facility was sold to private investors in 1998. They had the castle buildings extensively renovated by 2003 and converted them into an exclusive residential and office complex.
