The town of Colmdorf, then known as Kolbendorf, was first mentioned in 1386. The wooden predecessor of the current castle stood a little further south and was first mentioned in documents in the middle of the 16th century. The castle, which had been rebuilt after a fire in 1620, was given as a gift by Margrave Christian Ernst to his wife Erdmuthe Sophie in 1662. In 1754, the Margrave's minister Baron von Reitzenstein bought it and had it rebuilt in its current form. Just a few years later, Margrave Friedrich bought it back and gave it to his second wife Sophie Caroline Marie of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. It was also named Carolinenruhe after her. In the following years, the owners changed frequently, and Isolde Beidler, a daughter of Richard Wagner, also lived here with her family from 1901 to 1911. The castle faces a large garden with many sculptures.
