First mentioned as a mansion in 1245, the current castle was built in the baroque style in 1700. From 1747 to 1750, the baroque garden was laid out according to plans by the master architect Johann Christoph Knöffel, of which the round pavilion and the canal have been preserved.

The renovation of the partially destroyed pavilion was initiated by the current owners in 2009.

Around 1800, the park received its landscape design, which has been preserved to this day, on behalf of Countess Henriette von Schall-Riaucour, probably with the participation of master architect Christian Friedrich Schuricht and Lord Findlater.

The castle was redesigned by Schuricht in Palladian classicism: plastered blocks on the risalits, lion heads and fabric hangings in the arched areas, etc. This period also saw the redesign of the entrance area (vestibule with Ionic columns), garden hall with herms as a support for the roof to the side doors .

The cemetery was built in 1880 and the chapel was built in 1894. In 1907 the library was added to the south side and several rooms were redesigned.

In 1945 the property was expropriated and then used by the Red Army and briefly by the CDU. As early as 1946, the then TH Dresden was given the castle as a rest home for its teachers by the state government of Saxony. From 1951 the park was also owned by the Technical University of Dresden. The building and park were saved from decay through continued use and conservation measures.

In 2005, Gaußig Palace and Park became the property of the family of Andreas Graf von Brühl-Pohl. The castle was renovated and restored over three years in order to now serve as a castle hotel and the family's seat in Saxony.
