The palace museum offers guided tours of the state rooms on the upper floor. The history of the palace is primarily shaped by the Prussian diplomat and bon vivant Imperial Count Gustav Adolf von Gotter, who celebrated life here from 1733 to 1748. After the subsequent frequent changes of ownership quickly allowed the castle to fall into disrepair, it has been restored for the public since 1966 and its history has been restored.

Particularly worth seeing here are the estate of the Thuringian artist Otto Knöpfer and a collection of 20th century erotica.
