When Friedrich the Pious decided to relocate his residence from Schwerin to his father's remote hunting lodge "Ludwigs-Lust", he first had the canal system built (1756-1760): 28 km long from the Stör to the Rögnitz, at 14 m Gradient.

The masterpiece of the cascades was created directly in front of the former hunting lodge. From there the canal with fountains ("water jumps") and waterfalls goes through the forest and uses the former paternal hunting path that led to the hunting star of the "14 avenues" as a route. Since then, the canal system has shaped the unique character of the castle park.

The stone bridge was built in 1780 by court architect J.J.Busch in place of an older wooden bridge. In 1980 a falling beech tree destroyed the bridge and jewelry vase; However, through persistent citizen engagement, both could be restored. The ramparts on both sides of the canal up to the fountain called "Mönch" were renewed in 2014 with lawn benches, staircases and rows of trees, as has been handed down on old engravings.
