Between 1913 and 1915, Grand Duke Adolf Friedrich VI had a new palace built, a restrained, elegant country house in the neoclassical style designed by Ministerial Councillor Paul Schondorf. The clearly structured building with its side and central risalits was set in an east-facing English-style park, whose old trees lent the ensemble a special atmosphere. Stable and residential buildings for the servants were built nearby, also designed in the style of the palace. After the Grand Duke's death in 1918, the house passed to his mother, Grand Duchess Elisabeth, and since then has retained the quiet character of a residence that only served its original purpose for a few years. In 2025, the Grand Ducal Palace was reopened as a palace hotel with its own gourmet kitchen.
