In 1766, it was purchased by Anna Catharina von Schlabrendorf, nee von Otterstedt, the wife of Ernst Wilhelm von Schlabrendorf, a Prussian minister for Silesia, confidential counsellor, and minister of war. In the 1730s, the palace was rebuilt in the Baroque style. In the 19th century, it was modernized to resemble a French chateau, with changes to the roof, interior decor, and basement. The palace was destroyed at the end of World War II. In 1965, it was renovated and converted into a training and leisure center. Above the entrance gate, there is a coat of arms with the emblems of the von Otterstedt family (on the left) and the von Schlabrendorf family (on the right).
