In 1380, a new castle was built on the old castle site, of which no visible remains can be found today. Under Hans Löser, a two-wing Renaissance palace was built in place of the castle between 1571 and 1574. At the end of the Thirty Years' War, which the building survived almost unscathed, the complex was sold to Wolf Christoph von Arnim in 1647. His sons exchanged the property with the then Elector Johann Georg III for three knight's estates in 1689.

As the complex was used as an orphanage from 1829 onwards, only a few pieces of the original furnishings remain in the building. These include ornamented consoles dating from 1574, a stucco ceiling from 1720 or 1727 and some studded doors. The local museum has three panels from a wooden ceiling of the castle decorated with arabesque paintings on display. These are dated to 1574. The local museum also has a cast-iron stove plate with a view of Dresden. Another stove from the castle is now in the Luther Room of the Luther House in Wittenberg.
