    A castle in the village of Bötzow already existed on this site in 1288. Around 1551, Elector Joachim II replaced the castle with a hunting lodge. His successor, Elector John George, had the interior rebuilt in 1579. From 1642 onward, the Bötzow office was leased to Frau von dem Knesebeck. In 1650, Elector Frederick William and his wife Louise Henriette of Orange visited the castle during a hunting trip. Louise Henriette of Orange was enchanted by the landscape and reminded of her Dutch homeland. On September 27, 1650, the Elector granted the Bötzow office to his wife for life. She had it converted into a Dutch-style country estate from 1651 to 1655.
