A few years after the elevation to the electorate, the Hanoverian sovereign had the “page houses” built by the architect Louis Remy de la Fosse on the grounds of four former farms that were specially relocated from there . In the years 1707 to 1708 an elongated, initially plastered half-timbered building was built with one of the first mansard roofs in (today) Hanover , more precisely a hipped mansard roof on which a weather vane dated 1708 was placed. The open roof turret was expanded, however, until 1792, and possibly from Castle Celle translocated .

The ground floor of the page house was used differently at times. A large furniture chamber housed here served as an extension of the orangery from 1716 , before it was also converted into an apartment. From 1733, for example, the court gardener Georg Ernst Tatter used one of the other three rooms as his official residence.

From around 2005 the city-owned real estate company GBH offered tenants the apartments for sale as condominiums and handed over the management of the building to the management company Ostland . Around five years later, extensive renovations began in the listed complex in early 2010 ,
