Prötzel Palace was built in the Baroque style between 1712 and 1717 according to plans by Andreas Schlueter for Paul Anton von Kameke. In 1770 an English-style landscape park was created. Around 1800, Prötzel came into the possession of the Freiherren von Eckardstein. After the von Eckardstein family fled in 1945, resettlers who could barely make ends meet were quartered in the castle. Later, the LPG and the municipality used the castle as a school, gymnasium and warehouse, among other things. After reunification in 1990, the Prötzel art association used the building for its annual exhibitions. Efforts to restore the building, which was in dire need of refurbishment, and to find a new permanent use for it, failed. In 2007, the castle was acquired by the Armenian architect and developer Aram Ekavyan, who, together with his brother Vagram Ekavyan, planned a renovation of the castle and subsequent use as a luxury hotel. Since about this time there have also been discussions about the accessibility of the lake and the castle park for the public. In the meantime, this culminated in the statement by the lord of the castle that he only wanted to secure his construction site with the erected fences and prevent walkers from meeting his woolly pigs. According to the mayor's statement a long time ago, the lake route is still open to everyone (there used to be a circular lake route, by the way).
