History+

The building was erected around 1700 for the Privy Councillor von Buchwaldt. A princely administrative building previously stood on the same site. After Mrs. von Buchwaldt sold the property to the Gottorf court marshal Georg Heinrich von Görtz, the palace gained its characteristic three-winged form through the addition of two side wings to the central structure. It owes its current name to a later owner, Prince Friedrich Emil August from the Augustenburg line of the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg.
