In 1539 - 1546 a local nobleman built a Renaissance-style palace nearby. In 1571 a nobleman went bankrupt and sold it to the duke, the owner of the Old Castle. At the moment, inside is a museum of Goethe.

The newest rococo palace was built in 1736–1747 by Duke Ernst Augustus I, who at that time owned the Old Castle. The village located at the construction site was moved. Goethe, who was the minister in the region, often visited the palace and even lived here for 2 months.
