1368 First mentioned as Pulczwerd according to Inge Bily, place name book of the Middle Elbe area. The place was at this time, but probably earlier, in the possession of the Benedictine monastery "Zum Heiligen Kreuz" near Meissen. The nuns of the monastery "to the Holy Cross" near Meissen lose 1541 by the secularization of the Vorwerk Pülswerda. The now electoral Vorwerk is leased by the sovereign first to Balthasar from Radestock to Pauditz (Poditz) and then to Sebastian Pflugk. In 1799, Count Friedrich August von Seydewitz married Countess Clementine Kunigunde Charlotte, divorced Countess of Pückler-Muskau, nee von Callenberg. Thus begins the relationship of the castle Pülswerda to Hermann von Pückler-Muskau, Clementine's son from his first marriage.
In 1813 the manor Pülswerda was sacked by General Lauriston's corps for 3 days. This plundering must have been after 14.10.1813, because on that day the allied with France Bavaria declared this war. General Curt Friedrich August Count von Seydewitz was in the service of the Bavarian king. Bavaria, on the other hand, was on the side of France in the war between France (Emperor Napoleon) and Russia that broke out in 1812, as did Saxony on the side of Napoleon. From 16 to 19 October 1813, the Battle of Nations took place near Leipzig, where the troops of Austria, Russia, Prussia and Sweden beat Napoleon.
