The farm, with its fortified structure, was built on a medieval trade route from the Main Valley to Erfurt and a former ford over the Röden River. Over the centuries, the fortified structure developed into a moated castle and eventually a palace. Owners from the 14th century onward included the Coburg family, who, in 1451, sold the property to the mint masters of Rosenau. In 1600, the castle and estate were acquired by Duke Johann Casimir for 28,000 guilders and transferred to the princely chamber of Coburg as a domain.

The Prince's Garden is directly adjacent to the Cavalier House. The information board tells an interesting story.

A rock grotto was created on the eastern slope of the ridge in 1817. The small "Prince's Pond" above served as a water reservoir, fed by rainwater. While usually only a small trickle trickled from the overflow, during heavy rainfall there was a torrent, which could be regulated by opening a sluice at the Prince's Pond.

Along the Maine and its tributaries, you will often come across bridges made of wood. These are much cheaper and quicker to build than steel or concrete bridges. They are covered to protect them from the weather.
