A medieval moated castle , first mentioned in a document in 1206 , was demolished. From 1765 to 1767, shortly after the Seven Years' War , the Reinhardtsgrimma Baroque Palace was built in the late Baroque style with gardens . The Electoral Saxon Chamber Councilor Johann Christoph Lippold had commissioned the Electoral Saxon Oberlandbaumeister Johann Friedrich Knöbel . At the beginning of the 19th century, the garden was transformed into an English park with a classicistic bathhouse .

The castle came from Lippold's heirs to Henning von Rumohr , who came from Holstein . In 1785 his son, the art historian Carl Friedrich von Rumohr , was born at the castle . The Saxon Secret War Councilor Victor August von Broitzen and then the Danish envoy von Bülow († 1811) followed as further owners of the castle . When his youngest daughter Friederike married the forester and farm employee Georg Konrad Ruschenbusch, the castle passed into civil hands in 1820. After further changes of ownership (Aster and Nitzsche), the royal Saxon major general Maximilian Senfft von Pilsach took over the castle in 1908 and carried out a thorough renovation. To do this, he mainly used the financial resources of his father-in-law, the Dutch plantation owner Teding van Berkhout on Java .

In September 1945 Reinhardtsgrimma Castle was expropriated by the land reform . An agricultural college moved into the vacant rooms, which in 1990 became the state training center for employees of the agricultural administration of the Free State of Saxony.

Concerts for the public are occasionally held in the palace's baroque ballroom. It is also possible to get married in the castle.
