Duke Friedrich Wilhelm of Saxe-Altenburg built the present-day Old Palace between 1668 and 1670, which gradually developed into a hunting and summer residence. In addition to the high nobility of the time, the Russian Tsar Nicholas II and the German Emperor Wilhelm II also hunted here. The new hunting and residential palace was built between 1880 and 1885 by the Berlin architects Ernst von Ihne and Paul Stegmüller.

The monument stands directly next to the Hummelshain hunting lodge and fits perfectly with the castle.
