Two identical two-storey clinker brick buildings of the Grand Ducal Jägerhof were built for the court hunters from 1852 to 1856 and 1860/61 according to plans by the court builder Hermann Willebrand with a hip roof and a risalit gable .

The buildings were adorned with stone animal heads (e.g. deer, wild boar, roe deer) by the sculptor Heinrich Petters , some of which have been preserved. Works by Petters in Schwerin include a. the weever from around 1856 and the bust of Georg Adolph Demmler .
Behind it at the courtyard, covered by a barrack building, is the single-storey hunting arsenal , which is now a farm building . Here the things necessary for hunting were kept and the hunting nets were hung up. Two stable buildings with the dog-keeper's apartment were demolished.

Historically, documents have been preserved since the founding of the Schwerin diocese and the city of Schwerin (1160), which were stored in the archive in the town hall. In the great city fire in 1531, the city book, registers, foundations, contracts and documents were destroyed. Further fires and improper administration led to losses in the archive material that was stored in the warehouse in the pillar building on the market in the 20th century from 1951 and 1956 to 1991 .
