In 1890, the final project was made. When the palace was finished around the year 1900, an enclosed parking lot with a conservatory and elements of small architecture was built.

Along with the park, the former factory, the workers’ settlement, and the evangelical church, the palace was a member of the patronage team. The palace served as a residence for the Dietel family until 1945. It was occupied by the Soviet NKVD in January of that year, which was in charge of the city’s needs.

Numerous palace components and equipment were destroyed at that time. The School of Music’s home until 1997. Starting around 1997 the structure has been exclusive. Since that same year, renovations have been underway.

Since 2016, visitors can tour the facility and rent banquet halls with rooms for rent. There are two parts to the palace: north is narrower, while south is broader.

Brick is used for the facade, and plaster and artificial stone are used for the details. Mansard roofs cover the structure. The interior of the palace has some of the original furniture and equipment, making it a particularly valuable monument.
