The former hunting lodge was built between 1704 and 1707 by Landgrave Karl of Hesse-Kassel for his wife Maria Anna Amalia of Courland in the wide plain between the rivers Eder and Schwalm according to designs by court architect Johann Konrad Giesler. The swampy ground on the edge of the Eder floodplain was drained for the construction and supported with driven-in piles.
