    In the place of the present palace there was already a castle of the Dukes of Głogów, mentioned since 1468, passed on to the von Rechenberg family.

    At the end of the 16th century, Hans von Rechenberg rebuilt it in the Renaissance style.

    In the mid-17th century, the estate passed into the hands of the Barwitz family (von Fernemont).

    After a great fire in 1721, the former castle was rebuilt in the years 1732–1735 as a two-storey Baroque residence, preserving part of the older structure.

    The palace served as the residence and archive of the Reich Main Security Office, as well as Heinrich Himmler; a unique collection of books on Freemasonry and witch trials was gathered here.

    After the war, it was transformed into, among other things, a Children's Home (1957–2006); previously it housed the tax office, ZHP, OSP and a playhouse.

      In this palace, the Reich Security Main Office created a residence for the head of the SS and Minister of the Interior, Heinrich Himmler. Inspired by Arthurian legends, he dreamed of the SS becoming an order of the "new religion" which he considered Nazism.
