The palace, built between 1715 and 1717 was acquired by Augustus the Strong, who ordered a significant expansion, which started in 1729. When the expansion was finally completed in 1739, Augustus the Strong had long passed away and his plan to display a porcelain collection here was abandoned. The allied bombing raid of 1943 reduced the palace to rubble. Since its reconstruction after the war, the palace has housed a number of museums.
